I agree. I also create a role with the exact same name as mentioned: 'super user'. Perhaps I should rename it to 'admin. But that is the best way to go. Perhaps put this in the Drupal FAQ somewhere? I can see where people switching from other systems that have an 'admin' check-box or role could be confusing. The only draw back is that as you add modules, you'll have to grant that 'admin' role access to them. I could be wrong on this.

Erics solution is IMO the best practice. In fact, I (and other drupal developers) encourage this, and often advice people to not use superuser at all.

Rob,
I don't know if this is the best way, but what I do is create a new role called 'admin' or 'super user' (go to 'administer/access control' and select the 'roles' tab) and then grant that role privileges (the 'administer/access control/permissions tab) to administer some or all of the site. Then enable that role for any users who should have admin privileges.
