# How to assign administrator privileges to different technicians on Hexnode?

Device administrators operating on the Hexnode console are referred to as technicians, who take the role of a **Super Admin**, **Admin**, **Reports Manager**, **Apps and Reports Manager** or any *custom* role.

Among them, it is the **Super Admin** and the **Admin**, who are capable of assigning administrator privileges to different technicians in the UEM portal. They can change a technician’s role to **Admin** by [editing the corresponding technician details](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/configuring-technicians-and-roles-in-hexnode/#edit-technician).

But when it comes to adding a new user with administrator privileges, the super admin/admin must [create a new technician in Hexnode](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/configuring-technicians-and-roles-in-hexnode/#create-technicians-in-hexnode-uem) and assign the role of the technician as **Admin**. Note that the number of technicians that can be added to the portal depends on the [subscribed pricing plan](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/configuring-technicians-and-roles-in-hexnode/#limiting-the-number-of-technicians-as-per-the-pricing-plan).

1. What are the privileges of an Admin that differentiates it from other technicians?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Admins have full privileges to all the features in the portal unlike other technicians who have only limited permissions and scope. For example, the **Reports Manager** can only access the dashboard, the Reports tab and the associated features while the **Apps and Reports Manager** has access to the dashboard, the Apps tab, the Reports tab and the associated features.

The privileges of an admin include:

- creating a technician
- modifying technician account information and settings (except Super Admin)
- resending the technician account activation link
- resetting password
- deleting/deactivating the technician (except Super Admin)
- renew/cancel the Hexnode subscription

Though, the admin can edit their own information, they are not allowed to change their role/scope or delete themselves.
