Add or remove an administrator or editor
If you are an administrator you can add your colleagues as additional Administrators or Editors.
Editors and Administrators have contact records just like other people in your contact database. Once you invite them to create a user account they will gain extra privileges to access the software.
Roles explained
Every user account has a role, which determines what they can do on your website. The User role is the default role given to all user accounts.
| Role | Description |
| User | Can view and edit their own contact details and communication preferences. With an active membership subscription, a User can also access member content, create forum posts and add comments. |
| Editor | Has all the permissions of a User. Can also create and edit all website content and structure. |
| Administrator | Has all the permissions of an Editor. Can also manage the contact database, events, forms, broadcasts, reports and settings. |

- Click Invite to create user account
