# Transferring Admin Privileges to Another User

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "has_image , Overview , Admin , privileges , Article , Account Administration , Established"}} />

As the current Box admin of a Business or Enterprise account, you can change the Admin role to another managed user account.

<Note>
  **Requirements**

  * This task can be performed only by the current Box Admin for your organization, logged in as the Box Admin.
  * The current administrator's email domain, and the email domain of the managed user who will be assigned the Admin role, both need to be [verified domains](/en/box-admin-tools/how-to-guides-for-admins/domain-management-verification-and-auto-enrollment).
  * If there are no verified domains, an error will display when trying to transfer admin privileges to another user.
</Note>

1. While logged in as your organization's Box account Admin, go to **Admin Console > Users and Groups**.
2. Click the **Managed Users** tab.
3. Click your Admin account in the list of users (it will have the value *Admin* in the Role column).
4. In the Role and Access Permissions section, click **Edit**.
5. In the Role field, click the **Change Account Admin** link.
6. In the **Select Your Role** field, select a new role. You can either set yourself to be a Co-Admin, which will allow you to retain some administrative control of the account, or as a general user on the account, which will remove your access to the Admin Console.
7. In the **New Admin** field, enter the name of the managed user that will be the new Box account administrator.
8. Click **Save Changes**.
9. The existing administrator will receive an email notification to verify the change. The admin transfer will not occur until verified by the existing admin.

  **Note**

  * If your previous admin has left your organization and you do not have access to their Box account, you will need to submit a support ticket to first authorize your request.
  * Please refer to [Admin Transfer Protocol for Departed Admins](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/managed-users/admin-transfer-protocol-for-departed-admins) for more information.
