A super administrator is essentially another administrator but with additional permissions. For example, only a super administrator can manage other admins. A super administrator can also not be banned by a rogue member. In addition, this feature could be used as a tool to recover a site if someone successfully hacks your account, as only you would have access to the file server and have the ability to change the user ID to a new super administrator.
Super administrators must be added to the config.php file to enable their super admin status:
Code
// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';
