The first few times I installed the Admin Role module, I wasn't able to get it working. It's a great little helper module that creates an Admin role that is automatically assigned all the permissions to any new modules that are installed. Note the update.php will still only work for the "real" admin (user #1). Here's how to get it working properly:

1. Install Admin Role module and enable on the Site Building > Modules page under Administration

2. Go to User Management > User Roles and create a Site Admin role

I really like these Drupal modules, Node Clone and Node Export.

Node Clone
If you need to copy an existing page on your site like a custom webform, node clone is what you need. Recently I needed to copy a custom sign up form and make minor edits. Node Clone did the job easily.

Node Export

In December at our Surrey Drupal Users Meetup, we shared our favourite Drupal modules. Here's my list:

Admin Menu – puts the admin menu at the top of the screen out of the way
Vertical tabs – makes your edit forms much shorter and easier to manage
Quicktabs - organizes your page content easily

Webform block – puts your webform in a block to show on any page
Block edit – lets you click on configure link to edit blocks from any page the block is on

Better Formats – assign input format to user roles
