# Granting And Modifying Co-Admin Permissions

Although a Business or Enterprise account can have only one Primary Admin, you may delegate many administrative duties by assigning Co-Admin privileges to additional users. Co-Admins can access the Admin Console and perform most of the same tasks available to the Primary Admin.

For details on available Co-Admin capabilities, please refer to our [Co-Admin Permissions](https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/understanding-user-management/users-groups-settings.md#co-admin-permissions) community article. FAQs about administrator types and permission scopes can be found in [Understanding Administrator and Co-Administrator Permissions](https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/managed-users/understanding-administrator-and-co-administrator-permissions.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Business Plus and Enterprise plans allow you to assign specific Co-Admin permissions on a per-user basis. Standard Business plans can only designate users as Co-Admins without granular permission selection.

**Co-Admin Requirements**

* To grant Co-Admin privileges, the user’s account must use an email address on a domain that has been verified by your enterprise.
* If you need to grant Co-Admin access to a user whose domain cannot be verified, contact our Product Support team for assistance.

#### To grant a user Co-Admin permissions:

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Users & Groups**.
2. Click the **Managed Users** tab.
3. Click the name of a managed user with a Role of **Member**.
4. Hover over the **Role and Access Permissions** section and click **Edit** (![Edit button](https://docs.box.com/images/box-admin-tools/edit-button.png)).
5. In the **Role** drop-down list, select **Co-Admin**.
6. Select which Co-Admin permissions you want the user to have. For example:

   To determine if your admin needs other permissions, review the complete [Co-Admin Permissions](https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/understanding-user-management/users-groups-settings.md#co-admin-permissions) list.
7. Click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> A user cannot be both a Co-Admin and a Group Admin. When you make a user a Co-Admin, they become just members of any group that they are in where they were group admin.

#### To modify Co-Admin permissions:

1. Go to **Admin Console > Users & Groups**.
2. Click the **Managed Users** tab.
3. Click the name of a managed user with a Role of *Co-Admin*.
4. Hover over the Role and Access Permissions section and click **Edit** (![Edit button](https://docs.box.com/images/box-admin-tools/edit-button.png)).
5. Select which permissions you want the Co-Admin to have and clear the permissions you do not want the Co-Admin to have. See [Co-Admin Permissions](https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/understanding-user-management/users-groups-settings.md#co-admin-permissions) for details about each permission.
6. Click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> As a Co-Admin, you only have access to folders you own or collaborate on, and you might not see all of the managed/external user folders under **Folder Collaborations** in the Admin Console. Contact your admin for more information.
