What is an administrator (aka admin)? Can we have multiple admins? How do I give someone admin access?
Administrators can:
Administrators cannot:
Admins can essentially do anything on your Basecamp account except for cancelling, upgrading, or viewing/changing billing details. You can have as many admins as you’d like!
Note: An admin must be a member of your primary company. Members of client companies will not show up on that admin list. Also, if an admin does not have access to a project, they don’t have any admin powers over that project.
To enable admin permissions in a Basecamp account, go to the All People tab.

In the header above your primary company, you’ll see a link to update your administrator list.
Click that link, and you can make your updates!
