❖ Heads up! This article is intended for Admins.

By the end of this article, you'll be able to:

  • Add a second admin to your site

  • Assign admin access to an existing or new member

  • Remove an admin when needed

Overview

You can manage admin access for your site from the Settings area. Shift sites allow up to two admins at a time. Admins have full access to manage and make changes to your site, so be sure to assign this role carefully.

Shift Sites can only have two admins at a time.

Adding a New Admin

Before you add a new admin to your site, please note that once they have admin status, they're able to manage and make the same edits to the site as you. This is done from the Settings area.

To add a new admin:

  1. Go to Settings > Account & Billing.

  2. Click + Add admin.

  3. You can either search for an existing member to add or create a new one.

    • For an existing member, you can search by name or email in the Search members field.

    • For a new admin, enter their name and a valid email address in the fields of the Create a new admin form.

  4. If you added an existing member as a new admin, click Make [Member Name] an admin.

  5. If you created a new admin, then click Add admin to finish.

Removing an Admin

  1. Go to Settings > Account & Billing.

  2. Click the X beside the name of the admin you wish to remove.

  3. A warning pops up asking you to confirm your selection.

    • Click Confirm to continue or Cancel if you aren't ready to remove them just yet.
