<p class="callout info">Tip: enforce strong passwords and ask the user to enable 2FA in their Client Area.</p>

#### Delete an Administrator

On the **Admins** list, click the **🗑️ Delete** button next to the user and confirm.

**Best practice:** never delete your **last Super Admin**. Create/assign another Super Admin first.

- - - - - -

#### Groups &amp; permissions (quick tips)

- Define groups in **Settings → Staff → Groups** (e.g., *Support*, *Finance*, *Ops*).
- Follow **least privilege**: grant only what the role needs.
- Separate **Finance** vs **Technical** access when possible.
- Review group membership regularly (monthly/quarterly).

- - - - - -

#### Security checklist

- One person = one account (no shared logins).
- Require **2FA** for all admins (set in the user’s Client Area).
- Rotate passwords for high-privilege accounts.
- Watch the **Session IPs** for unusual activity.
- Immediately **Disable** or **Delete** ex-staff accounts.

- - - - - -

#### Troubleshooting

- **“Save” is greyed out / error:** check required fields, unique email, password match.
- **Can’t log in:** ensure **Status = Enabled**; verify correct email.
- **Missing features:** user likely lacks the right **Group**.
- **Password change fails:** confirm both fields match and meet policy.
