# What is an 'administrator'?

An administrator, or 'admin' for short, is a role for users in nooa.

Admins have additional permissions compared to other users. For example, they can create pinboards and users, add or remove users from pinboards, customise roles, and much more. Admins also have access to the 'Admin Cockpit', nooa's control centre.

Especially in larger teams, you may want to have more than one admin so that team leaders or department heads can independently manage pinboards and users to use nooa according to their needs. To allow this, you can update their role to admin.

Note: in order to make someone an administrator, they must have a valid email address on file. In addition, you need access to the Admin Cockpit.
