## How it works

### 1. Accessing the Administrators Section

To access this feature:

1. Navigate to the **Organizations** section in the sidebar.
2. Select **Administrators** from the options within the Organization group.
3. You will see a list of current administrators, with options to add, remove, or change administrator permissions.

### Key Features and Capabilities

#### Organization-Based Administrator Management

This feature provides a centralized management tool, allowing administrators to set permissions and transfer ownership across workspaces within an organization. Key highlights include:

* **Organization-Level Control:** Previously, members had to be individually added to each workspace, making cross-workspace management difficult. Now, administrators and owners can manage members and permissions organization-wide, streamlining the user management process.
* **Automatic Inheritance:** Workspaces created under an organization automatically inherit quotas and resources, such as devices and SMS allocations, eliminating manual configuration.

#### Assigning and Managing Permissions

Administrators can be added by:

1. Clicking **Add Member** and entering their **email**. The member must have an existing Datacake account.
2. Assigning one or more of the following permissions:
   * **Workspaces:** Manage workspace-related permissions.
   * **Members:** Handle member access and roles.
   * **Billing:** Manage billing settings and information.
   * **White Label:** Configure white-label settings.

This flexibility allows the assignment of specific roles, such as a **Billing Administrator**, without granting unnecessary access to other areas.

#### Ownership Transfer

For organizational needs, ownership transfer is now possible:

1. In the **Administrators** list, open the **context menu** next to any administrator.
2. Select **Transfer Ownership**.
3. After transferring ownership, the original owner can remove themselves from the administrator list.
