Team Administrators

The team administrator – sometimes called a coach or group administrator – functionality provides limited access to the administration interface for people nominated by a Teamworks AMS site administrator. This means your organization can allow coaches or staff from specific areas to help manage the people they’re responsible for.

A team administrator only has visibility of and access to people in groups where they’re listed as an administrator. If a group has any subgroups, the team administrator will have access to the people within the subgroups as well.

People with team administrator access have fewer administration abilities and can’t use all the same tools that a site administrator can. A team administrator is able to perform the following administrative actions:

• Add new users to their group through the Groups or Accounts tools.
• Update some account details of people in these groups.
• Reset passwords using the password reset function for people they have access to, including setting custom passwords if they have the appropriate system permission.

A team administrator cannot reset a multi-factor authentication key. Team administrators also cannot import or duplicate user accounts. If they have a role containing the Merge users system permissions, they can merge users.

If a team administrator needs to be able to assign roles to people in groups they have access to, it’s necessary for that person to also have administrator permissions for each role.
