To explain it simply, an admin is a kind of "super user" who can oversee the entire account, managing everything from users and boards to security and billing. This allows one team member (or more if you choose) to manage their account effectively and securely.
How to add another admin to your account
By default, the person who initially creates the monday.com account is the admin. The admin can then make other members admins of this account as well. It's always great to have a second admin, just in case.
To access this part of the account as an admin, click your profile picture in the top-right corner of your screen, then select Administration. From here, you can locate a full menu of all admin customization capabilities.
Then, go to the Directory on the left panel and choose Users from the expanded menu:
Locate the user you want to make an admin. Under the User role column, select the arrow next to their user type and select Admin from the dropdown menu.
You can also change a user's role through this same menu. Learn more about managing your account's users 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 to which you would like to change them (Member, Viewer, or Guest). Doing this will remove their admin rights as well.
