Administrador versus moderador

[Thomas_Ralph1 (ThomasR)]

What’s the difference between the admin and mod rights? Do admins have more power?

[mpalmer (Matt Palmer)]

Moderators control the content (and the users). Admins control the system (configuration, etc).

One more quick question can Mods grant themselves admin?

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

No, mods cannot grant themselves admin.

Thanks Jeff for all your help!
