Although only one main admin of a Business or Enterprise account can exist, you have the opportunity to grant co-admin privileges to as many users as you like.
Co-admins have access to the Admin Console, and are able to perform many of the same actions as the main account admin. The Understanding Administrator and Co-Administrator Permissions article provides details about the co-admin's role and permissions.
To grant a user co-admin permissions:
- Log in to your account and navigate to the Admin Console.
- In the lefthand navigation, click Users and Groups.
- Click on the user you want to switch to co-admin. Box displays details about this user's account.
In the Edit User Access Permissions section, check Co-Admin, and then select the subset of granular permissions you want to grant this user:
The Co-Admin privileges are:
- Manage users: Add new users or edit existing user information and access levels (checked by default).
