Within Teamwork.com, site administrator permissions can be assigned to individual users you want to be able to perform certain site-level actions.

The permissions granted to site administrators depend on the company they belong to.

Owner company site administrators

  • Have the highest level of permissions in Teamwork.com.
  • Can manage people in all companies (clients).
  • Can view and edit all projects or and items on the site (including projects they're not a member of). Like all users, they can only be assigned to items or log time on projects they're a member of.
  • Override any privacy set on items — they see all items by default (tasks, milestones, files etc.) even if they are not explicitly selected in the item's privacy settings.
  • Can impersonate other users.

External company site administrators

  • Can only see projects they are members of.
  • Can view/edit all people and companies in your site.
  • Can add people/grant permissions on projects that they are members of.
  • Cannot change other site administrators' associated companies.
  • Cannot move external company users to the owner company.
  • Do not override privacy — if they are excluded from an item's privacy, it won't be visible to them.
  • Cannot be assigned the client user licence type.

📝 Standard users (in the owner or external companies) may be set as a project administrator for an individual project. This only grants them project-related administrator permissions..
