Administratation

Administrators maintain the system by managing users at the most basic level. There are only 4 real responsibilies give to administrators.

Create and manage other admins.
Manage if a user can login or not.
Create a new course and add its instructor.
Manage system settings.

These are managed using the following functions

Since only an admin can promote another admin, the first user created in the system is automatically an admin. The last admin in the system cannot be deleted.
