Bitrix24 Helpdesk

Bitrix24 has a new interface. The images in the articles might differ from the current account design. We will update them soon.

Change the first administrator

The first administrator is the person who created your Bitrix24 account. This person receives Bitrix24 system emails about plan extensions, webinars, promotions, etc.

If the first administrator leaves the company, they need to give admin permissions to another user.

Each user you add to the account is assigned an ID. By default, the first administrator has ID 1. When you change the first administrator, the new admin's ID doesn't switch to 1. They keep their original ID.

Bitrix24 Support can't give admin permissions to your employees. Only the current account administrator can do this. To change the administrator, assign a new one first, then remove the original administrator.

The rules for changing the first administrator depend on your plan:

Free plan.

You can only change the first administrator on commercial plans. If you're on the Free plan, upgrade to a commercial plan to make the change. After that, you can switch back to the Free plan if needed.
