Admin Powers: What is missing?

I have a question about me forum admin powers:

My friend made a proboards forum. Then, after I joined up, he made me an admin also.
But I was wondering....

For some reason, I am administrator, but I don't have the ability to change a person's member group from Members, let's say, to Moderator or Admin etc.

I can only see the pull down menu for this when Modufying my own profile, but not in anyone else's. Is that right only available to the original admin?

Or what?

Only the orginal (main admin) can make people staff. This is just for security purpose's.

When he makes you admin, have the main admin go to Admin area then to modify member group and then chose to modify admin group a then it takes it to where you can edit the amount of stars etc, skip that, and click continue, is has a list of powers to give to the admin group, all of them will be on no, your friend/main admin has to switch no to yes on the powers he/main admin wants to give you, understand?
