When you first installed Drupal, the first user you created was, naturally, user #1, also known as the "super-administrator". If others users need administrative access to the site (to administer Views, for instance), it is a good practice to create a distinct admin role. The Admin Role module will save you the trouble of having to manually set permissions each time you install a new module. All new permissions will automatically be enabled for the admin role.
Download the Drupal 5 Admin Role module to:
<DRUPALROOT>/sites/all/modules
(Select the "tarball" marked Recommended for Drupal 5.)
Unzip the module.
In your browser, go to the Modules page at Administer | Site Building | Modules (
http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/modules
). Scroll down to the Other fieldset, and enable the Admin Role module.
Go to the User management | Admin Role page at (
http://YOURSITE.com/admin/user/adminrole
) and select your newly created admin role from the drop-down list.Go to the User Management | Access Control page, and note that the admin(first column) already has the permissions set. These permissions were enabled by the Admin Role module.
