Yes, I'm a newbie here....so, I have two simple questions:

1.- What's the difference between a moderator and a supermoderator?

2.- Could my forum have more than 1 administrators?

A moderator just moderates a set number of forums/categories and cannot use the Mod Cp. Super Moderators moderate the whole forum and can login to the Mod Cp.

To add another admin you need to set their user permissions in your admin cp.

Partially correct - Moderaters may use the Mod CP if their permissions are setup to allow them to ;)

so, if a moderator can have access to the CP, why use supermoderators?

Moderators are generally assigned a few forums to moderate in.
Super Moderators are allowed to moderate the whole board. Sometimes, Super Moderator is called Global Moderator.

They don't unless they are given permission.

As other said, they are allow to moderate certain stuff. Super Moderator have the privilege to ban user(s).
