Well, it doesn't work for me to authenticate to a list using the Admin
listcreator password. I can use the site Adminstrator password to get
into any list. I'm running Mailman 2.1.6. This type of feature for
different levels of access to a list might be a good feature in the
future for Mailman.
I do apologize if this was in the FAQ Wizard, I did a brief scan in
there and must have overlooked it.

I would like to know if there's a way you could have another Site Admin

There is one and only one Site Admin password, and it is only
created or modified via the command-line on the server where Mailman
is installed.
I know you have a Site Admin
password that can create and delete lists via web, but it doesn't allow
you to authenticate into existing lists.
Yes, it does. I do it all the time on many of the mailing lists
I'm on, where I'm also one of the admins for the list, and where I'm
also one of the site admins. As site admin, I use this feature
whenever I need to go into a list that I'm not subscribed to and look
at their archives, or their list configuration, etc....
The only purpose for this
access would be to change the password for the Moderator/Admin for this
list, and not be able to change any of the other settings.
See above. There is one and only one Site Admin password, and
there is no provision for splitting out parts of that functionality to
anyone else.
These kinds of questions should already have answers in the FAQ.
