**Who can do this:**

- Anyone with the Users (editable) permission
:::

Giving a user administrative privileges grants them access the dashboard and lets you assign them specific roles. 

Assigning roles helps organize access and responsibilities in the dashboard, ensuring each user has the necessary permissions to carry out their tasks effectively.

**How do roles function within an admin's level?**

Roles assigned to an admin are applicable only within their admin level. If you want user's admin privileges to apply across all groups or teams, they must be assigned admins at the top level. See [Admin access overview](docId\:rRssnv5pnQQkvN13FWHa0).

## Assign an admin & role

Make a user an admin and assign them a role.

**Do I need a mobile phone number?**

Yes! You'll need to add the admin's mobile phone number to their profile, since two-factor authentication is mandatory for logging into the dashboard. This extra layer of security helps protect your account.

4\. In the dialog, click **Assign **to confirm.

6\. Click **Save.**

Once you've assigned one or more roles, the user only has access to the dashboard menus needed.

## Remove admin privileges

Remove administrative privileges from a user, so they no longer have access to the dashboard. 

To remove admin privileges from a user:

1\. [Open the user's profile](docId\:hl_2U1Xyd6aZrQ-HjrUEi).

2\. In the **Assignment **section, next to **Admin**, select **Remove**.

- A dialog appears to confirm the change.

3\. In the dialog, confirm by clicking **Remove.** 

4\. Click **Save**.

This removes their admin privileges, but doesn't change their original user segmentation.
