Team administrators can use the dashboard to let others manage a team and its Essentials account.
Important: Assign the team admin role only to people you trust. With an email-verified account, all team admins can:
- Invite new users, which increases your monthly bill if you have a paid subscription.
- Remove users from the team, including other admins.
- Manage billing, if you have a paid subscription.
- Cancel your team's subscription.
- Gain access to files owned by others, including files owned by other admins.
Additionally, we recommend that all team admins protect their accounts with 2-Step Verification.
