MyLimeSurvey version: Version 3.22.6+200219
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own server
==================
It's a very long time ago ...  I need to create a new administrator in a LimeSurvey Version 3.22.6 instance and for this, I've an `admin` account.

Once connected, in the `Configuration` dropdown menu I don't see something like `Create a new user` (like I can see in the documentation  manual.limesurvey.org/Manage_users#Create_users ).

Ouch... Forgot...   Is this option somewhere else (didn't find) or am I just "admin" and not super admin (n that case, ouch too because I don't remember I've another login than the `admin` one).

Many thanks for any tip.

This is just "wording".

You show the GUI of 3.x. 
Until then everybody was "admin"

The manual refers to 5.x. where we now have "users"

Did you click "Manage survey administrators"?
There you see "Add user"
After you added him use the buttons in the table to
"edit the user"
"give global permissions"
"give template permissions"

And about "roles". There are no.

And before you use this installation for anything, make an update. Your installation hasn't received any bug fixes or security updates for over 3 years now.

Damned!!!!

The "Add user" button was on the left side of the screen, I was looking (only) at the right side. Damned!

**Thank you Joffm!**

@holch: you're right of course, fully agree with this. This is an "AS IS" "inherited" situation and yes, we need to take some time to upgrade it.

Thanks guys!
