An Account administrator administers one Account. The role adds Account settings to the avatar menu and nothing else about your own profile or sign-in changes.
The label is Account administrator.
Where the role is used
Select your avatar, then Account settings, or open /en/account-settings/general. The rail states You administer this account and has five sections:
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| General | What this account is, what it is spending, and how people sign in. The Account name, the Short name, the Status, Sign-in methods, Spending, Members and Roles in use. |
| Users | The member list with Email, Role, Limit and Actions, plus Invite member and the pending invitations. |
| Usage | What the Account has consumed. |
| Billing | The Account's billing. |
| Connected accounts | The external providers connected for this Account. |
What an administrator can change
From Users: Invite member, Change role, Set limit, Add one-off increase, Use the account default, Suspend and Reactivate, and Send again or Cancel invitation on a pending invitation.
Set limit and Add one-off increase apply to one member. The Account's own default, stated at the top of the same section as a default limit per member per period, is changed with the Edit beside it. When none is set the line reads No default limit is set.
The Account name is not one of them. The page states Account names are changed by Evolve support.
What the role does not do
- It does not make apps appear. Availability and installation are decided per Account and per role, and a role check is only one of three gates. See An app is missing.
- It does not reach into another Account. The rail shows You do not administer this account. under the heading You are viewing that Account when you switch to one you do not administer.
- It does not apply to the platform's own system Account, where the page reads This is the Evolve system account. and Account settings do not apply here.
