    Hi, all:

    I''m trying to add a second admin account to go with the "Admin" account/role, and I can't figure it out.

    I have the password for "admin" changed, so I should retain access.

    I've tried every combination (I think) of checkboxes and radio buttons under System > CP Users, and under System > "Remote users". I'm accessing it from behind my router at the moment, but I'd ALSO like to be able to access it from the Internet as well.

    Good choice for a FAQ for the manual.

    When you take a look at the manual, you find it on page 261 "4.9.1 User Management". On page 262 you find the following info:
    When you want to create a second admin account, you choose type "admin" instead of user here. But note that such sub-admins do not have the same rights as the main admin. Also, sub admins make only sense if you have more than one employee in your company with admin rights; for a single person managing a server, creating a sub admin is not what you would want to do.

    CP useras are ISPConfig Logins and Remote users are API logins. You find this information in the manual as well. Remote Users, chapter "4.9.1.2 Remote Users" page 264+.
