Add a New Administrator
Create a new admin account in your agency and control exactly what they can access. After adding an administrator, you can assign permissions, define their responsibilities, and use advanced settings to limit their access to specific types, tags, locations, or other criteria. This helps you create focused admin roles and ensures each team member only works with the parts of the platform that are relevant to them. This documentation will walk you through adding a new administrator and configuring their access settings.
