When using UpKeep, it is important to understand the various user types available to optimize productivity, streamline communication, and ensure your team has the correct permissions and visibility to do a great job!

UpKeep offers different user roles to cater to the needs of different team members, ensuring that everyone has the appropriate level of access and responsibilities.

Administrator users in UpKeep have the ability to manage all users and teams within their account. This includes editing user information, updating roles, and configuring team settings. Keep in mind that while Administrators can modify other users' roles and details, they cannot change their own role.

💡Every Account MUST have an admin in the account at all times
