 * we created a temporary user in one of our sites so they can have admin access
   to solve a technical issue. the user does not appear on the site but does appear
   in our network user roster with the title super admin. please advise on best 
   practice in this situation.

 * Unless this user needs to be a superadmin, I’d make him a contributor or less
   in the network and then add him to the site or sites he needs to be an admin 
   at and raise his role in just those sites.
 * Double-check from the network dashboard just to make sure you didn’t raise his
   role back to super admin.
 * If you have a non-super admin for the sites he needs to be in then use that account
   to add him if possible. Always double-check unless he is to be ‘trusted’ site-
   wide anyway.

 * this temp admin would be working on a network activated plugin. does this change
   anything in your remarks above ?

 * assuming the obvious, this is a network task.
