Hi community!
Please, help me.
How to prevent moderators from seeing administrator data (ip, email)?
And as far as I understand - there is no such thing as a"super administrator". T / e if I give other users admin rights, they can also view all the data of the form creator.

By default moderators cannot see emails. For moderators to see emails you need to enable the `moderators view emails` site setting. I don’t believe there is any way to prevent moderators from seeing user IPs.
And you are correct, admins are admins, they all have equal permissions on the site.

It turns out that I can restrict moderators to see the email and ip address not specifically of administrators, but of all users-right?

Moderators can either not see emails (default) or see emails (toggle the site setting). The user role (regular, moderator, administrator) is irrelevant. Either they see emails or they don’t.
Moderators can always see a user’s IP address, there’s no way to restrict that at this time.

it would be nice for the administrator’s data to be private, including for the administrator
