Add a Site Administrator

Within Teamwork.com, you can grant site administrator privileges to new or existing users.

Before you start

Site administrators in the owner company have the same permissions as the site owner and can perform the same actions.

They can view and manage all projects (even if they're not a project member).
They also override the privacy set on individual project items, therefore have visibility over all items.
Like all users, they can only be assigned to items or log time on projects they're a member of.

External company site administrators have reduced admin permissions.
Client users and collaborators cannot be granted site administrator permission.
Site administrators have a key icon beside their name.

Select People from Teamwork.com's main navigation menu.
Switch to the People tab.
Click the arrow on the Invite Users button's right.
Select Add User.
Switch to the Permissions tab.
Toggle on the Is this user an administrator option.
Click Add User.

📝 Alternatively, use the Invite Users option to add multiple administrators at once. Once you add the users' details, set the Permissions field to Administrator at the bottom of the Choose projects tab.

📝 When you enable the administrator permission, the permissions that were previously shown are hidden as they are automatically granted to an administrator.

External company site administrators

External company site administrators do not inherit all profile permissions by default when you enable the administrator option.

Once the administrator permission is turned on, some additional permissions can be enabled separately (ex. portfolio or custom fields).
