	There's not really a promotion feature, or a way within CPX to
move domains between domain admins without deleting and recreating them.
If you are OK with ignoring warnings such as 

<warning>Do not edit this file directly</warning>

<g> then you can try editing /usr/local/etc/cpx.conf.  In the <domains>
tag you will see for each domain:

    <domain>
      <name>example.com</name>
      <admin>userid</admin>
(...)
    </domain>

Later under the user list you will see for each domain admin:

<user name="userid">
(...)
<domain_admin/>
<eu_capabilities>
  <mail/>
</eu_capabilities>
(...)
</user>

	You'll also need to move the web site into /home/userid/www and
change the permissions to let the new admin access the files
(userid:www), as well as change httpd.conf to the new path.  There might
be something I missed but that's the gist of it.  If it breaks, restore
your backup copy.  :)
