Zoho Calendar Roles and Privileges
The roles available in the Admin console are Super Administrator, Administrator, and User roles. The members of the organizations can assume different roles in the Admin console, based on the requirement.
The Super Administrator is by default the user who signs up and sets up the domain. The users are end-users, who just need to access, and do not need any admin capabilities like adding users and so on. The Administrator is a role provided to a user, who needs to manage users in the organization, in addition to the Super Administrator.
The Super Administrator can provide Administrator privileges to other users or change the Super Administrator of the organization to another Administrator in the Organization.
Change Role of a Zoho User to Admin
You can change the Role of any user to admin and admin to a user.
- Log in to the Admin Console.
- Navigate to Users in the left pane, and click on the user you want to change from User to Admin.
- Under the Role option, click the Edit icon and select the role you would like to assign
- Once done, click Update.
Change Super Admin
Even though the Super Admin, by default, is the user who initially set up your organization, it can be changed.
Things to note:
- There can only be one super-admin for an organization.
- The Super Admin role can be assigned only by the Super Admin.
- The member you want to make as Super Admin should already have the Admin role (custom Administrators are not eligible).
To change an Admin to Super Admin, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Admin Console.
- Select Security & Compliance in the left pane, and choose Roles and Privileges.
- Navigate to Roles and click Super Administrator.
- Click Change Super Administrator.
- A pop-up window will list all the Admins under your organization. Click Change next to the member you would like to assign as super-administrator.
- Authenticate with your password and click Assign.
Once you choose a different super admin, the previous super admin's role will change to Admin.
