Go to Users.
Click the Active tab to show the list of current users.
Find the user you want to assign admin rights to, click the arrow on the right of the user's details and select Administrator Access…
Select the appropriate access type.
(Optional) To send an email to the user confirming the access change, select Send access email now.
(Optional) If you use organisational segments, you can create a segment administrator by assigning a segment to the user. Click the arrow to show the list and select a segment.
Click Assign access to [username].
Note: Administrator access applies immediately, though the user may need to log out and back in for changes to take full effect. Atlas doesn't notify them of their new rights, so let them know directly if needed.
To limit an administrator to a specific segment of users, create a segment administrator instead — see How do I create a segment administrator?
