More Admin Users

So, I manage to make another user. Then I checked "admin" for another user. But some reason. I am the only one that gets the options like "+" for add boards. Which makes me only real admin user. Is that bug in my install. Or is there a difference between, me programmer main admin and other admins that I add to a board?

In Admin Panel, you can edit other users and set other users as Admin, but those have access to everything, so be careful. At boards, you can click other user avatar and select permission BoardAdmin (or text admin) to allow those users to do deleting critical data ;)

    My question was that. I another user does not have the right to add swim lanes or cards. And if I make them admin, they still do no get these rights. So I had to give away my personal admin user and password so they could adjust they board. So question was, when I set the admin to the other user, the other user did not get these access to everything. If my installation is broken. how do I check that ?

      Huh? Did you add that another user to same board, click that user avatar, and change permission to admin?

        I do not mean you should give Admin Panel permission, as full admin

            So at board sidebar, you click that user avatar and change from normal to admin. Only that step.

                But really, why should normal user reorder swimlanes?

                  Normal user permissions were restricted exactly for the reason, that normal user would not mess up order of swimlanes, delete lists permanently etc

                    So I think you should not give normal users any admin permissions

                      Anyway, you can continue about permission discussion at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3377 and https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3397 . For that 3377 I can open that issue after you have commented it.

                        I did test it. When I at board clicked other user avatar, changed that user from normal to admin, and that user reloaded Wekan webpage, that user got rights now to reorder swimlanes, add lists, etc
