Assigning Department Administrators by Kintone Users & System Administrators

Article Number:020137

This page describes the procedure for Kintone Users & System Administrators to assign department administrators.

For details on department administrators, refer to "What Is a Department Administrator?".
A department can have up to 1,000 department administrators.

Considerations to be made before assigning department administrators

A department administrator can manage not only users who belong to departments for which the department administrator has administrative privileges, but also users who do not belong to any department. For example, the department administrator can edit such users' information or add them to the department for which the administrator has administrative privileges.

Before assigning department administrators, Kintone Users & System Administrators should check for users who do not belong to any department and add them to appropriate departments, as needed. Note that, by default, the Administrator is a user who belongs to no department.
