Upon clicking Administration, your view will be replaced with the Administration page. Click on Users in the tabs list.
-
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

The selected user's browser will reload automatically, and the user will no longer have access to the administration page.
