# How do I add or remove other admins?

Senior Admin only (a Junior Admin can't grant or change admin roles). Admins are managed on Access, under Active Admins and Pending Admins — separate from the student roster.

*From the School Administrator manual, "Managing Other Admins".*

**Senior Admin only** (a Junior Admin can't grant or change admin roles). Admins are managed on
**Access**, under **Active Admins** and **Pending Admins** — separate from the student roster.

**To invite a new admin:** click **+ Invite someone new**, enter their email, choose **Junior Admin**
or **Senior Admin** as the role, and click **Send invite**. If that email already has an account,
they gain admin access to your school immediately (you'll see a confirmation message).

**To change an admin's role:** use the dropdown on their card; it saves automatically.

**To remove someone's admin access without deleting their account:** click **Revoke admin access** —
this demotes them to a regular parent role rather than deleting anything.

**To temporarily suspend an admin:** click **Deactivate** (becomes **Reactivate**). A deactivated
admin loses every admin ability the moment you click, even if they are signed in elsewhere, and
cannot reactivate themselves. A deactivated Senior Admin no longer counts as a successor: if you
deactivate the only *other* Senior Admin, you will not be able to demote or deactivate yourself until
you promote someone else.

Pending admin invites (not yet accepted) show under **Pending Admins**, with **Revoke invite**.
