Changing a Member to a Team Admin

Admin vs. Member Access in Smore for Teams

In a Smore Team, there are two main types of access: Admin and Member.

By default, new users you invite will join as Members. You can later promote a Member to Admin to share the responsibilities of managing your Team Account.

Once a Member becomes an Admin, they gain access to their own Management Dashboard, where they can:

• Invite new members to the Team
• Create Groups
• Promote other Members to Admins

How to Change a Member to an Admin

1. Log in to your Smore account. 

2. Open your Management Dashboard, click the “Members” tab. 

   

3. Find the member you’d like to promote, click the three dots next to their name, then select “Change to Administrator.”
