i've never looked at vbulletin but i imagine '1','2'; breaks the line too early.. try:

'1,2';

Can you please provide the code you are using to insert the new user?

// ****** 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';

You only need one super administrator (as defined in config.php). The job of the super administrator is to be able to add other administrators and set their permissions, which you can do from within the admin control panel. Just select the user you want and move them into the Administrators usergroup. Then, from within the admin control panel, click on Administrator Permissions to define what portions of the admin control panel they should have access to.

Thank you so much, doubtless I will have many more questions before long...

No problem.
