Promoting Volunteers to Admins

Promoting a volunteer to a Volaby Admin

A Volaby Admin has full access across the whole organisation. Promote a volunteer to Admin when you want them to be able to configure org-wide settings, manage all programs, or handle responsibilities that span more than one program.

For a full list of what Admins can do, see Volaby Permissions.

Adding an Admin

You'll need to be an existing Admin yourself to add another one.

  1. Navigate to Admin Console and select the Admins subsection

  2. Click Add Admin

  3. Click the magnifying glass icon to open the search bar

  4. Search for the volunteer by name and click their name to select

  5. Click Done to save

The volunteer is now an Admin and immediately has full access to your Volaby workspace.

Removing an Admin

From the same Admin Console > Admins subsection, click the X button next to the Admin you want to remove. Confirm to remove them.

Removing an Admin doesn't remove them from Volaby β€” it just demotes them to their next-highest permission level. If they're a Program Manager for a program, they stay as that. If they're not, they revert to a regular volunteer.

Your Volaby workspace must always have at least one Admin. The system won't let you remove the last one.
