so just put "can access control panel (is administrator)" for the super mod group?
Also, sure would be nice if you could get around to helping with that signature at the bottom of the post thing.
I would suggest creating a new additional usergroup, based on the supermods, and add is administrator, then you will need to assing the admin permissions to him AdminCP > usergroup > adminstrator permissions
This way, not all your supermods will have access to the admincp, however with 0 admin permissions its more usless than the modcp
