    Hello there.

    How can I know if there is a Super Admin in the list of users? Cause I do not see anyone with that role and my boss want to be that one?

    the other concern is about the amount of admins that we have given to marketing and developers. Is there anyway we distinguish the admins cause we do not want that all could delete users? The solution maybe to give a role of Editor?

    Thanks for your time.

    Best Regards.

    Hi @marcopedrosilva,
    I think you will find good answers to these questions in this part of the WordPress documentation: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#summary-of-roles

    It has clear explanations about each user role type.
    I hope that helps you.

    The SuperAdmin role is only available in Multisite. If you’re not running a Multisite network, then there’s no such role at all.

    the other concern is about the amount of admins that we have given to marketing and developers. Is there anyway we distinguish the admins cause we do not want that all could delete users? The solution maybe to give a role of Editor?

    As far as security is concerned, users should have the minimum level of permission to do their work and nothing more. Internal corporate politics is something else entirely.

    From the USERS menu in your WordPress dashboard, you can see the list of users and their roles. You must be an administrator yourself to see this.

    You’ll find all of WordPress’s built-in user roles and their respective capabilities in the link mmaattiiaass gave above.

    If you need to customize the capabilities of these built-in roles or even create new custom roles, you’ll need a plugin like User Role Editor: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
