# Make a user an administrator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> With great power comes great responsibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, everyone in a realm is a user; this limits them from modifying
|
||
|
|
realm-wide settings, such as changing the organization name, activating or
|
||
|
|
deactivating users, deleting streams, etc. Zulip realm administrators can
|
||
|
|
give a user administrative rights. To do so, follow the steps below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click the () in the upper right corner
|
||
|
|
of the right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Select **Administration** from the dropdown menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Upon clicking **Administration**, your view will be replaced with the
|
||
|
|
**Administration** page. Click on **Users** in the tabs list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. In the **Users** section, you will be presented with various settings
|
||
|
|
for your users. Click on **Make admin** for the user(s) that you wish to
|
||
|
|
make an administrator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After clicking the **Make admin** button, the selected user's browser will
|
||
|
|
reload and the user will gain administrative privileges immediately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Revoke administrative rights from a user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Administrators can also revoke the administrative rights given to a user.
|
||
|
|
In the **Users** tab of the **Administration** page, click on the **Remove
|
||
|
|
admin** button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The selected user's browser will reload automatically, and the user will no
|
||
|
|
longer have access to the administration page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Note:
|
||
|
|
* A user given administrative privileges can revoke it him/herself.
|
||
|
|
* There must be at least one administrator in a realm.
