Ability to make the 1st admin undeletable?

[MarilynWallace]

This is something I saw happen at a board that I frequented years ago. Someone that had been promoted to an admin spot had a disagreement with the other staff members then proceeded to delete all of them and delete everything off the board. A lot of content was lost. I seem to recall some sort of plugin for IPB that enabled this - or maybe it was for another forum software (I've tried out many). I think it would be a useful feature.

I think it's vital to have daily backups, and only the site's owner and host should have access to them. So, in the case someone goes mental and does something like this, the situation can be reverted with not too much damage.

When adding someone as an administrator, you can either add that member specifically (AdminCP -> Members -> Administrators) or move them into a group you've already set up as an administrator. If you do the latter, it's a good idea to use a different group which you apply restrictions to, leaving yourself unrestricted. When creating an administrator there are a number of restrictions you should disable for most administrators:

But it's well worth reviewing all the restriction options to make sure you're not giving someone more power than is necessary.

Such as "Can edit admin accounts" ?
