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.
- 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.
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
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Company Profile.
- Go to Project Overview.
- Click Get Access on the project you need.
Results: project access after Become Admin
- 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 |
