Add an admin to a Workspace

An admin can’t be added to a Workspace directly. Instead, they must be invited to the Workspace as a normal member, then changed to an Admin.

To change a member to a Workspace admin:

  1. Select the Trello logo to return to the Home page.

  2. In the sidebar, select Members to open the Workspace members page.

  3. Locate the member whose role you want to update and select Normal next to their name, then select Admin from the dropdown.

Alternatively:

  1. Open any board, then select Switch boards from the navigation bar at the bottom of your board (or press the b keyboard shortcut)

  2. Select your Workspace name, then select Members

  3. Find the member you’d like to change, select Normal next to their name, then select Admin from the dropdown.

The board switcher can also be pinned to the left edge as a panel. More about pinning the board switcher.

All members of a Free Workspace are admins of the Workspace. However, Free Workspace admins are not given access to all boards in the Workspace. Individual boards must be managed by the board admins.

On Standard and Premium Workspaces, Workspace admins are also board admins on all boards in the Workspace, even private Workspace boards.
