Adding Admins
This article explains how to assign workspace-level roles in Guru.
Access RequiredYou need the Manage Admins permission to view and manage this role. Admins have it by default, and it can also be granted through a custom role. If you don't have this permission, Workspace Permissions won't appear in your Manage menu. If your workspace no longer has any Admins, contact Guru Technical Support.
Assigning workspace-level roles
Making a user an Admin, Creator, or other custom workspace role
To assign workspace-level access to a user:
- In Guru’s web app, go to Manage > Workspace Permissions.
- In the All Members list, use the Find member by name or e-mail field to locate the teammate.
- Start typing their name or email — results will auto-populate.
- Select the teammate and choose one of the following role options:
- Admin
- Creator
- Custom role with workspace-level access
- The selected role will be applied immediately.
You can have multiple Admins in a single workspace.
Using a system login for Admin access
Why it's recommended
- Minimize disruptions: Use a system login as an Admin when configuring connected apps and integrations. This ensures continuity even if team members leave or change roles.
- Transparent access: System logins help maintain visibility and clarity when authenticating with any external source.

Frequently asked questions about Admins in Guru
Where can I see who my team Admins are?
If you have the Manage Admins permission, go to Manage > Workspace Permissions to view the full list. Admins have this access by default, and can be given via custom role.
If you don't have that permission, Workspace Permissions won't show up in your Manage menu. Anywhere the app would normally point you there, like a prompt to contact your admins, you'll see a pop-up listing your workspace's Admins instead, so you can always find who to reach out to.
