Day 3: Assign administrator roles and permissions

5 min read

Once you've got members on board, it's time to select administrators and configure their permissions.

Only administrators have access to the Lark Admin Console, modify organization information, organization structure, configure various permissions, and so on.

Different types of administrators have different permissions. For example, the primary administrator has all management permissions except for disbanding the organization, while the Help Desk administrator only has the management permissions of the Help Desk admin console.

Administrator types

The types of administrators include the organization founder, primary administrator, and administrator. The permissions of each type are as follows:

Administrator Type	Permission Description
Founder	By default, the owner of the organization is also the first primary administrator, with full administrative permissions in the Lark Admin Console. Only the founder can disband the organization. The founder can transfer the "founder" role to others.
Primary administrator	Has all the administrative permissions in the Lark Admin Console (except for disbanding the organization). Can add or remove primary administrators or other administrator roles. Can create and assign different administrator roles. Note: To protect information security, it is recommended to keep the number of primary administrators between 2 and 4.
Administrator	Has the permission of the administrator role they belong to. For example, the Attendance administrator has all the permissions in Lark Attendance. Can create sub-roles under their administrator role and assign their own permissions to the sub-roles.

Administrator roles

As the primary administrator, you can create administrator roles, assign selected Lark Admin Console permissions to each role, and add administrators to each role.

According to the needs of your organization, you can flexibly create administrator roles and assign permissions to them. For more information, see Admin | Add administrators and create administrator roles.

To facilitate your first batch of administrator roles, here's an example:

Primary administrators or administrators with Administrator permissions can access the Lark Admin Console to view assignable permissions and modify settings. For more details, see Admin | Add administrators and create administrator roles.
