<br>messages to all the admins at once. Then I discovered that just flagging<br>someone as an 'admin' does nothing, but I could grant each user<br>permissions individually for tons of things. But I'd forgotten that the<br>
groups have all those fine-grained permissions too.<br><br>So I think what you are supposed to do is create custom groups with<br>permissions suited to your site's particular needs and just add users to<br>the groups they need access to.
