Add an Admin

To add an Admin, go to Project Dashboard > Configuration > Manage Team. From there, you can send an invite email to the new teammate. If the user already has a ReadMe account, they'll be added immediately to the project. Otherwise, they'll need to accept the invite and create a ReadMe account.

 

Invited Admins will receive an email from us:

from: 		[email protected]  
subject: 	You've been invited to a new project 🎉

 

Remove an Admin
