# Make a user an administrator
{!admin-only.md!}
By default, everyone in an organization is a user; this limits them from
modifying organization-wide settings, such as changing the organization name,
activating or deactivating users, deleting streams, etc. Follow the following steps to
give any user in your organization administrative rights.
{settings_tab|user-list-admin}
4. Click on the **Make admin** button for the user 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.
{settings_tab|user-list-admin}
2. Click on the **Remove admin** button.
The selected user's browser will reload automatically, and the user will no
longer have access to the **Organization** page.
!!! tip ""
Users can revoke their own administrative privileges if there is at least
one other administrator in the organization.
