Who is an account administrator?
The first registered user from a domain (for example acme.com) on Essenvia is automatically assigned as the administrator (admin) of the account. The user can delegate their administrator permissions to another user by contacting Essenvia support at support@essenvia.com.
For the most part, an admin has similar rights as other regular users when it comes to creating or managing projects, but there are additional privileges and superpowers as an account administrator as outlined below that allow them to handle important administrative activities that other team members cannot.
