Edit an Admin
Admins can log in to the Admin Area and perform actions according to the permissions that you set. For the best results, each member of your staff that will use or view the WHMCS Admin Area should have their own admin account. You can easily edit existing admins to change account settings like their admin roles, permissions, and assigned departments.
