Review

Administrator rights in Microsoft 365 are key for controlling your account and its users. It's a powerful role, so only assign it to people who truly need to manage settings. The first user you set up for Microsoft 365 usually gets admin rights automatically. Simply sign in to your Network Solutions® account, go to Microsoft Office 365, select the user you want to change, and then choose 'Make an Admin' or 'Remove as Admin' from the drop-down. Don't forget to always keep at least one administrator to ensure you can still access all the tools.
