The forum owner user account
The forum owner user account is automatically created when you create your forum with Website Toolbox. It will say Forum Owner next to it in the Users -> Administrators section. It is supposed to be the account that the forum owner uses to browse and post on the forum.
Owners have full control and can oversee both administrators and other owners, while administrators don't have those abilities.
You can change the username of the forum owner or assign another user as an owner by following these instructions:
- Log in to your Website Toolbox account.
- Click Users in the navigation menu.
- Click Administrators.
- Click New Administrator.
- Enable all of the permissions.
- Enable the Owner option that appears once all of the other permissions have been enabled.
- Click Assign Administrator.
