Change a team member's role

Team administrators can use the dashboard to let others manage a team and its Essentials account.

Important: Assign the team admin role only to people you trust. All team admins can:

• Invite new users, which increases your monthly bill if you have a paid subscription.
• Remove users from the team, including other admins.
• Manage billing, if you have a paid subscription.
• Cancel your team's subscription.
• Gain access to files owned by others, including files owned by other admins.

Additionally, we recommend that all team admins protect their accounts with 2-Step Verification.
