When installing Umbraco for the first time you get asked for an admin user account to log into the dashboard.
If I log into the dashboard and create another admin account with access to everything - content, users, settings, etc, then log in as this "duplicate" user, I cannot see the other admin user set-up during installation.
If I create an admin user with just access to content, users, translations and log in as that user, I can only add additional users with the same access e.g. content, users, translations, I cannot add settings or developer for example even thoguh the account is set as administrator.
I'm sure pre V7 this wasn't the case and an admin account could see all other admin accounts from the users section and have access to tick or untick all available sections.
The admin user created during installation is somewhat a super-admin. So it's normal that you can't see him when logged into umbraco with a different user. So you can't change permissions for this user.
The second thing I haven't recognized until now, but also never really had the case to check this.
Adding admin users via the dashboard
Can anyone tell me if this is correct.

Or am I wrong here?
