I have not seen this on my own server so please explain full rights.
A "administrator username" was created during a "create virtual server".
By full rights I mean when I log in as the "administrator username" it shows "Login: <i>_adminuser_</i> (Master admin)"
and the main screen has buttons to "Stop Acache" "Stop mail server" "Stop MySQL".
They can also delete any of the other domains!
I haven't seen this bug at all on any servers I maintain.
So is there a way to edit an webmin user so that they are not a "Master admin"? Is there just a flag that marks a webmin user as a master admin vs. a "server Owner"? Where is this stored?
could it may be because I reset some of the defaults in the Virturalmin Virtual Servers module Config? Is there a way to reset it to the defaults?
Would completly removing Webmin & Virturalmin and reinstalling fix this?
I clearly cannot give domain owners the ability to shutdown apache, sendmail, etc
I certainly can't tell what is going on without looking at your server

Goodness, don't do that! That's the worst possible solution to what is probably a very simple problem...and will break every user in Virtualmin, because uninstalling Virtualmin removes all Virtualmin meta-data.
I'll see if I can replicate your problem and come up with some steps to correct it easily and get back to this thread shortly. But I wanted to make sure you don't think uninstalling is a sane solution!

I tested this on the Pro and GPL and can't repoduce this at all.
Is there any more info I could provide to help you replicate. Backups, etc.
This is a brand new install of virtualmin GPL and I have only created a couple of domains with it. I dont think a reinstall would all that bad since most of the domains were just "Imported" I could just import them again. I have been editing my system config files manually for a long time for just the handful of domains I host anyway.
If you are going to do that you might as well let Jamie or Joe get on your server and look.
Not that I am opposed to letting them but I clearly dont want to post access here and hope they are the only ones who log in!!
Hehehe...Nobody is suggesting you post login details in a public place.
My email address isn't a secret...I post it four or five times a day: joe@virtualmin.com (Couldn't be any easier to guess, either.)
