# Adding an Administrator

Administrators can manage all aspects of SmarterU.

- Only administrators or owners can make another user an admin. Although administrators can add an administrator, they won't be able to [edit the administrator's information](https://support.smarteru.com/v1/docs/editing-a-user-manually).
- Once a user is made an administrator, only owners can change their [**Access Level** setting](/v1/docs/user-profile-information#access-level) back to *User*.

To make a user an admin:

1. [Edit the user's profile](/v1/docs/editing-a-user-manually).
2. Expand the Profile Information accordion.
3. Set the user's [**Access Level** setting](/v1/docs/user-profile-information#access-level) to *Admin*.

1. Click **Save**.

We recommend that all administrators take the [SmarterU Academy training](/v1/docs/smarteru-academy).
