In WordpressMU, there is another layer of administration called Site Admin.
Upon installation, the admin user is created automatically. They have site admin, or "super admin" powers over the entire site. They are able to access and manage every blog on the system, regardless of individual blog settings.
If you are logged in as a Site Admin, a faint yellow greeting box is displayed as a reminder.
The main menu is the Site Admin menu. It appears just under the dashboard menu. Submenus include:
Admin - this menu item is more of a landing page and has a search box for blogs and users
Blogs - this is the blog management page. You can see a list of blogs on the system with their users, with edit links to the blog's details and to their backends. You can also manually add blogs here via a form at the bottom of the page.
Users - manage all the users on the system, and it also lists the blog of each user.
Themes - this menu is for sitewide activation and deactivation of themes. A theme must be activated here before it is visible to member blogs.
Options - probably the most important menu for sitewide management. All sitewide options are available here.
Upgrade - this menu item is only used after an upgrade. It steps through each blog to make sure it gets updated.
Site Name What you would like to call this website. Site Admin Email Registration and support mails will come from this address. Make it generic like "support@yoursite.com"
Allow new registrations - Disable or enable registration and who or what can be registered. (Default=all)
If registration is disabled, please set "NOBLOGREDIRECT" in wp-config.php to a url you will redirect visitors to if they visit a non existant blog.
