The person needs a teacher account first. **For:** district admins, and site admins for their own school ### Before you start - To be a site admin, the person needs to be a teacher at that school. Site admins can add other admins for their own school. - For what each kind of admin can do, see [School (site) admins and district admins: what each can do](https://support.orilearning.com/knowledge/admin-roles?hsLang=en). ### Make a teacher a district admin 1. In the [admin portal](https://app.orilearning.com/admin), click your district's name in the left navigation. 2. Click 'Administrators'. 3. Start typing in 'New Admin' and select the teacher. 4. Click '+ Assign'. You'll see 'Changes saved'. Only teachers are offered in 'New Admin', so someone who isn't listed doesn't have a teacher account yet. ### Make a teacher a site admin 1. Open the school: 'Sites' and the school, or your school in the left navigation. 2. Click 'Administrators'. 3. Search in 'New Admin' and select the teacher. 4. Click '+ Assign'. You'll see 'Changes saved'. 'New Admin' lists the teachers at that school. ### Remove admin rights To take away admin rights, click the trash icon next to the person on the 'Administrators' list. It happens straight away, with no confirmation and no undo. You can't remove your own admin rights. Their teacher account stays. 1. Open your district's or the school's 'Administrators' list. 2. Click the trash icon ('Remove Admin') next to the person. ### Give admin rights back If someone's 'Administration' option has disappeared, a district admin can give admin rights back from 'Administrators'. A site admin can do the same for their own school, including for a teacher who has moved there. Use the steps above to assign them again. If your district doesn't have a district admin yet, [send us a request](https://support.orilearning.com/knowledge/what-ori-support-can-do?hsLang=en). Do the same if no admin is left in your district to give admin rights back. Anyone can send us a request. You don't need to be an admin, and any email address works. We'll follow up by email. ### Still need help? Include: - Your district, and the school if it's a site admin - The name and username of the teacher who should get or lose admin rights - Whether they should be a district admin or a site admin - The exact message you saw, if any [Send us a request](https://support.orilearning.com/open-a-support-ticket?hsLang=en) — or, if someone is available, [chat with us](https://support.orilearning.com/open-a-support-ticket?hsLang=en). You can also email support@orilearning.com with the same details. **What happens next:** we'll acknowledge your request, come back to you if we need to confirm anything, and tell you when it's done. -
