===What is an admin?===
Strictly speaking, an admin is a **login** and a **password** which give you access to the administrative functions of PHPlist, as opposed to the open and public pages of PHPlist (such as the subscribe, preferences or unsubscribe pages). In other words, an admin is not necessarily nominative: several people can share the same admin account (the same login/password). There is no limit to the number of administrators on your system.
An admin can own several **lists** but each list is owned by only one admin. To use a list, you must be the admin who **owns** the list. For more on lists, see [[ListAndUserFunctionsInfo What is a list?]]
Not all admins have equal rights: some can use all the functions in PHPlist, some can only use a few functions. These rights are called **permissions**, and they are set by SuperAdmins.
~1) **SuperAdmins:** admins who have **all** permissions on the system. They can create, edit and remove administrators, and change the admins' permissions, including the permissions of other SuperAdmins.
~1) **Restricted Admins:** admins who have **restricted** permissions on the system.
~//Example:// One admin may be allowed to [[SendMessageInfo send messages]], another may be allowed to view [[UserInfo users]], etc. It is important to set the permissions properly depending on the needs of your admin.
