Manage admin users
Admin users are Syntho users with special administrative rights. One admin is required to use Syntho, and for security it is wise to limit the total number of admin users.
Admin user rights
Create new users: Admins can create new users.
Delete existing users: Admins can remove users from the user list.
View workspaces: Admins can view the entire list of workspaces that have been created by all users. However, they are not automatically granted access rights to each workspace. Admins can only view and edit workspaces that they themselves own or which are shared with them.
Change role of a user for any workspace
Transfer ownership of a workspace: (Feature coming soon)
Create first admin users
To create the first admin users for a new instance of Syntho, you add the credentials to your environment variables.
When you create Syntho users with these email addresses, they are granted admin rights.

Grant admin user rights
You can grant administrator rights to an existing non-admin user. To grant admin rights to a user:
From the Actions menu, select Make admin.
Revoke admin user rights
You can remove administrator rights from an existing admin user. To remove an admin's rights:

Admins cannot revoke their own admin rights.
For admins that are configured in the environment variables, you must update the environment variables to revoke their admin rights.
