To give someone admin access on Trello, you need to first ensure they are a member of your Trello Workspace and then change their role from a standard member to an Admin.
You cannot directly invite someone as an Admin. Instead, they must be invited to the Workspace as a normal member, then changed to an Admin.
Steps to Make a Workspace Member an Admin
Once the user has accepted the invitation and is a member of the Workspace, follow these steps to grant them admin privileges:
- Click Members in the sidebar to open the Workspace members page. This is usually located on the left side of your Trello Workspace view.
- Click “Normal” next to their name. On the members page, you'll see a list of all members and their current roles (like "Normal" or "Admin"). Click on the current role displayed next to the name of the member you want to promote.
- Select “Admin” from the dropdown. A menu will appear with different role options. Choose "Admin" from this list.
That member is now a Workspace Admin and will have permissions to manage Workspace settings, members, and more.
