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.

  1. Go to the Users {!admin.md!}

  2. 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.

  1. Go to the Users {!admin.md!}

  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.
