Make a User an Admin

Make a User an Admin

Make someone else in your Google Workspace account an administrator to help you perform management tasks in your Google Admin console. This way, if you’re busy or on vacation, someone else can help with tasks like resetting passwords and adding or deleting user accounts.

When a user with an admin role signs in to their Google Account, they'll have access to additional management controls.

Important: Make sure you share management of your organization's account only with people you trust.

Make a user a super admin

Here's how to grant a user full access to your Admin console:

You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

  1. To continue, switch to a super administrator account. This (https://admin.google.com) will open the Google Admin console.

  2. From the Admin console Home page, go to Users.
  3. In the Users list, find the user. For tips, go to Find a user account.
  4. Click the user’s name to open their account page.
  5. Click Admin roles and privileges.

    Points out Administrative roles link

  6. Click the Super Admin role.

    This displays a  slider next to each role.

  7. Next to the Super Admin role,  click the slider so it's marked Assigned  .
  8. Click Save.

    Tip: In the Privileges section below, you can see all the user's privileges.

The user typically becomes an admin within a few minutes. However, it can take up to 24 hours.

When an admin with the Super Admin role signs in to their account, they arrive at the Admin console Home page. Here, they see all controls for managing your organization's user accounts and services.
