How to set someone as an administrator in a marketplace, in detail?

A few things to know first:

  • only an administrator can grant admin privileges to someone else,

  • the person who will be added as admin must have an active regular user account already (if the user doesn't exist, you will not be able to set them as admin),

  • setting someone as administrator is effective immediately,

  • users are not notified, so don't forget to contact them to let them know.

To make a user an admin, in details, you should:

  • log in your marketplace with your own admin account,

  • go to your Admin panel,

  • go to the "Users / Manage users" page

  • in the list, find the person you want to add as an administrator,

  • click on the button in the Actions column.

  • select "Grant admin rights" and confirm.

  • that's it! This user is now an administrator in your marketplace.

How to remove an administrator in a marketplace?

If you want to remove all admin privileges for a user, you should:

  • log in your marketplace with your own admin account,

  • go to your Admin panel,

  • go to the "Users / Manage users" page

  • in the list, find the person you want to remove as an administrator,

  • click on the button in the Actions column.

  • select "Remove admin rights" and confirm.

  • that's it! This user is now no longer an administrator in your marketplace.

How many people can be administrators in a marketplace?

You can have as many admins as you wish. However, take care, it's good to be careful when opening your marketplace gates and giving administrator privileges only to people you trust!

Can there be different levels of admin privileges?

Some people would like to have only one admin and other accounts with certain, but not all, admin privileges. Unfortunately, at the moment, this is not possible. As said before, all admins have the same privileges.
