# Become an Admin on a project you're not invited to

## Overview: become Admin on an uninvited project

As a **Company Admin**, you can grant yourself Project Admin access on any company project from **Company Profile** - **Project Overview**, which is used when a project owner has left, or when you need central oversight of a project that is not on your dashboard.

It does not change project ownership. For company-wide settings, see [Company Settings for Company Admins](https://help.cxplanner.com/en-us/article/company-settings-for-the-platform-administrator-1fkf4pn/).

* Your role must be **Company Admin**.
* You can find the menu at Profile icon - **Company Profile** - **Project Overview**.
* This changes your membership on the selected project and adds you as **Project Admin**.

|| This is an enterprise feature. Only **Company Admin** users can use **Get Access**.

By default, projects are only visible to invited members. Being a **Company Admin** does not put every project on your dashboard until you take access.

## How to become Project Admin on a project

1. Click your **profile icon** in the top right corner.
2. Select **Company Profile**.
3. Go to **Project Overview**.
4. Click **Get Access** on the project you need.

* You appear on the project as a **Project Admin**
* The original **Project Owner** keeps ownership
* Other users keep their roles unless you change them
* The project appears in your dashboard
* The action is recorded in the project log

## Troubleshooting: become Admin on an uninvited project

| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Get Access button is not visible | Your company role is not Company Admin | Ask an existing **Company Admin** to raise your company role, or to open the project and invite you |
| I am Company Admin but the project is missing from my dashboard | Company Admin does not grant automatic project membership | Open **Company Profile** - **Project Overview** and click **Get Access** on that project |
| I used Become Admin but someone else is still Project Owner | Become Admin adds you as Project Admin only | Ask the current owner to transfer ownership, or keep working as Project Admin |
