Guy, I think you may be confusing our 2 levels of permissions.
Roller classifies all users with 2 possible roles, "editor" and "admin".
These roles determine what a user has access to in the system as a
whole. An "editor" has the ability to login and work on managing
weblogs. An "admin" is basically a system admin and has the ability to
alter properties that affect the system as a whole. You will probably
want to reserve the "admin" role for a very select number of people.
Additionally Roller has the ability to define various permissions that a
user has on a given weblog. Each member of a weblog can have any of 3
possible permissions, "limited", "author", or "admin". These
permissions only affect what that user is allowed to do on the specific
weblog, so these can vary from weblog to weblog if the person is a
member of many weblogs.
Checking the the "admin" checkbox on a users profile gives that user the
system admin role, which is probably not what you want.
To give someone complete control over a weblog you simply give them the
"admin" permission on that weblog. You can see what permissions a user
has on a weblog by going to the Preferences tab for that weblog and
looking at the "Members" page.
hope that helps.

Hi;
I wanted to get some additional information regarding member
permissions.
I have noticed that as a global admin I can set the permissions of any
weblog members to admin, author or limited.
In my system, I intend to be the only global admin and I intend to
create abour 5 users with 1 blog for each user. What I want each user to
be able to do is post entries and manage comments on their personal blog
and that is basically it.
From the short explanation on about permissions I can't understand
exactly what each role can do. For example, can an author manage
comments?
I would appreciate any help or a reference to read about this as I could
not find anything in the manual.
Thanks in advance.
