How to assign admin roles?

Assign admin roles

In an organization's admin console, it's often necessary to assign different admin roles to different users based on their responsibilities and the level of access needed. Admin roles can range from basic roles like a help desk admin to more advanced roles like a super admin with full control over the organization's settings and data.

It's important to assign admin roles carefully and thoughtfully to ensure that users only have access to the tools and data they need to do their job. This helps maintain the security and privacy of the organization's data and reduces the risk of unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive information.
