Within Teamwork.com, you can choose to add a user to your site as a site administrator.

A site admin in the owner company will have the same permissions as the site owner and can perform the same actions. External company site admins will have reduced admin permissions.

Owner company site administrators override the privacy set on individual project items, therefore have visibility over all items.

Note: Client users and collaborators cannot be granted site administrator permission.

To add a new administrator to your site, go to the People area. Click the More option in the main navigation menu on the left of your site and select People.



In the People area, select the People tab from the horizontal menu to view.



Select the arrow to the right of the Invite Users button in the top right corner and choose Add User from the dropdown menu.
