How do I transfer account admin access?

Modified on Sun, 9 Mar at 4:26 PM

Only another Account Administrator can grant the Account Administrator Role to an agent in Freshdesk. If you are already an Admin in your helpdesk, you can identify the Account Admin by navigating to Admin, Team, Agents, and the profile you cannot edit will be that of the Account Admin.

As an Account Admin, you can provide your account admin access to another agent by following the steps below.

  1. Navigate to Admin. Click on Team and then select Agents.

  2. Click on Edit next to the agent to whom you wish to transfer the account admin access.

  3. Go to the Roles section under the Edit Agent page.

  4. Select Account Administrator option from the dropdown.

  5. Click on Update agent to save the changes.
