Users

Add and manage your administrators.

Only administrators can perform tasks, but you can always add more if you need help with other duties. For example, if you handle giving processes, maybe another administrator can keep track of individuals or automated emails. It's up to you how you decide to delegate tasks, but as soon as you select the appropriate administrators, you're all ready to tackle whatever jobs are ahead.
