How to set another user as an administrator

You will need to be a Customer Admin to follow these steps
  1. Head to Apps on your left menu, select Users and then Users again.
  1. Search for the person and select Edit on the right hand side.
  2. Toggle on the MFA Required option under Account actions
  3. Update the user by pressing Update user in the top right hand corner
  4. Edit the user again, by selecting Edit on the right hand side
  5. Go to the Permissions tab. Toggle either the User administrator or Customer administrator option to on
    You should see a pop-up to say the changes have saved. You can then navigate to a different screen, you don't need to click on Update user
