How Do I Get to the Config.php File to Make a Super Admin?
The vBulletin software allows you to run a forum on your website. You can designate users as "super admins" with special privileges to moderate and edit forum postings. To make a user a super admin, modify the config.php file to include the user ID of the person to whom you want to grant super admin privileges.
