The person who initially creates the monday.com account is by default the admin of the account. The admin then has the option to make other members administration of this account as well. It's always great to have a second admin just in case as backup! 

Click on your profile picture on the top right corner of your screen and click on Administration:

From there, click on the tab Users as shown below: 

Next, locate the user which you are looking to make admin. Under the User Type column, select on the arrow next to their user type and select Admin from the dropdown menu.

You can also change a user's type through this same menu. You can learn more about how to manage the users on your account here.

How to remove an admin

In the event that you need to remove an admin, simply follow the same steps as above and select the user type which you would like to change them to (Member, Viewer, or Guest). Doing this will remove their admin rights as well.
