Adding and Assigning Super Admins
Learn how to add and assign super admins in Asana to manage organization-wide settings and security.
Super Admins in Asana have the highest level of administrative access. They can manage all users, control authentication settings, and access security features that regular admins cannot. If your organization requires elevated controls over Asana workspaces, assigning Super Admins is essential—especially for organizations using SSO, SCIM, or managing multiple domains.
Requirements
- Only existing Super Admins can promote other users to this role.
- Users must already be members of the organization in order to be promoted.
How to Add a Super Admin
-
Log into Asana with an account that already has Super Admin privileges.
-
Click your profile photo or initials in the top-right corner and select “Admin Console.”
-
Go to the “Security” tab.
-
Scroll to the “Admin Controls” section.
-
Click “Admin Access.”
-
Click + Add a super admin (or admin) next to the user you'd like to promote and select “Done.”
-
The new Super Admin will be notified and immediately gain access to organization-wide settings.
Responsibilities of a Super Admin
Super Admins have access to:
-
Full user management, including removing users and enforcing 2FA
-
Authentication settings, including SSO and SCIM configuration

Security features, such as domain control and audit logs

Overseeing billing and license usage data
Best Practices
