Can I have more than one Team Admin?

Question

I’d like to give another team member full Team Admin access. I’ve granted them every permission on the Team page, but their role still shows as Member — is there a way to make them a Team Admin too?

Answer

No — each team can only have one Team Admin. You can’t add a second one, and there’s no setting that changes a Member’s displayed role to Team Admin.

However, you can give a Member nearly the same permissions as the Team Admin: on the Team page, open that Member’s card and click Manage access, then enable every item. There are seven toggles in total: Receive daily summary, Activity log viewer, Billing management, Usage viewer, Team member management, API access and Form permissions & defaults management. Team member management also covers Custom Domain and Email Domain Verification. Once all are enabled, that Member can do most of what the Team Admin can, and their card still shows Member rather than Team Admin. The Team Admin’s own card always shows Full access, since admins can’t have access removed.

A few actions stay with the Team Admin only: renaming the team or changing its icon, giving Team member management to others, changing the Team Admin’s own rights, enabling HIPAA, the HIPAA Audit Log, Erase all submissions, and approving API Playground OAuth access. A Member with Team member management can only grant rights they hold themselves.

One toggle worth noting: Form permissions & defaults management gives that Member access to the Form Permissions page (the same cross-form view that lets Team Admins manage Form Editor, Form Submitter, and Form Submission Viewer settings on any form, not just their own) and lets them save Form Default Settings. Enable it deliberately, the same way you’d grant admin-level access.
