When I started building my website way back in 4.7.x, I had no idea what the difference was between navigation and primary links. Now I have my entire menu in Navigation, and would like to start separating the administrative part from the site menu. Can I just change some id in the database, or is this more involved? I haven't done any Drupal DB hacking so far, but I'm very comfortable with SQL.

Just create a new menu called "Admin Menu" and move the entire Administration branch to that new menu (edit the Administration menu item and set its Parent to "Admin Menu"), the whole menu will automagically move with it.

Great, that's essentially what I thought! I'll make a copy of my DB to play with later. I also need to make my main user #1 again, having to set permissions after every new module installation is getting old. I hope that just changing the owner id of each node should do the trick there, similar to moving around menu items.
