Within Teamwork Desk, you can upgrade a regular agent to a site administrator.

Doing this will give them more permissions and the ability to perform actions on your site.

Go to the People area at the top of your site and select the Agents subsection.

You will see a list of the existing agents on your Teamwork Desk site. If an agent is already an administrator, they will have an orange key icon and admin label below their name.

Administrators on your site can:

  • Manage your Help Docs sites (categories, appearance, settings)
  • Manage the Customer Portal
  • View and manage agents, customers, and companies in the People area.
