Can someone help me?

I am wondering what the difference is between a MOD and a Super MOD when running a forum?

Is there a difference in permissions? Or is this something set by the ADMIN?

Does a Super MOD have ADMIN privileges?

I am helping out a friend with his forum, and I don't exactly know what the functions of Mods and such are....Can someone please explain it to me so I get a better understanding on how forums operate?

Thanks! Anyone's feedback is appreciated.

If you use another product from another vendor besides vbulletin, there may be a difference.

What is a User Group?

A user group is just what it sounds - a group of users. By default, the vBulletin software includes the following user groups:

(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation - all users that have not been validated by an administrator or moderator will be included in this group (for bulletin boards that require user accounts to be validated by an administrator).
Administrator - all vBulletin administrators are included in this group.
Moderators - all vBulletin moderators are included in this group.
Registered - this group is populated with all the standard users.
Super Moderator - this group contains all the "super moderators". A super moderator can moderate all forums on the bulletin board.
Unregistered / Not Logged In - this group contains all visitors to the bulletin board who have not logged in, or haven't registered for a user account.
Users Awaiting Email Confirmation - if you have configured your vBulletin forum to require email verification before the registration is completed, all users in this group have registered, but haven't yet activated their account.
