Hi all,

how I can assign exception for Drupal default user admin (id = 1) ?

I can't view an "admin" role in the list of roles where I can assign exception.

Thank you

I ran into this myself, the workaround is to either use the Admin Role module for Drupal 6 and then create your own user with this new "Admin" role instead of using USER 1 which does not show up on the permissions area of a CCK field. Or you can use the Masquerade Module and put its widget in a sidebar of your admin pages, then when you want to edit, you can quickly switch to an "admin" role and be exempt from any required fields.

My use case is that I have thousands of nodes where I am now adding a new CCK field but it won't be necessary for me (as USER 1) to fill in the new required content when I edit and existing node for some other reason.

Subscribe!! I just ran into the same problem.
I'm using Admin Role module already and a user with the admin rights can be excempt from some required fields, but this doesn't happen to the administrator itself (User 1). So actually I have no solution to this. Why don't you make an extra checkbox especially for the User 1?
