Admin vs Primary Contact
💡 Note: The Admin owner for a location refers to the owner of the location – this is the person who setup the Location under their own account. This is not to be confused with a Primary Contact for a Location, which is simply a contact who gets automatically added onto notifications & reports for locationsIf you change Admin, you will change it for all locations owned by that Admin.
You can review the Admin (and other roles) from the Contacts screen.

Steps to manually update the Admin for a Location
To change the Admin of a Location, the Admin themselves must change their profile using the Account section in the App.
Select Menu > Account in the top right corner
Select Edit Profile and make the following changes:
First Name
Last Name
Email
Mobile Phone
Edit Password (use something generic and the new Admin can update later)

If you are updating the Admin for an Organization, we strongly recommend that you switch the account to a generic Email (such as iot@yourcompany) to avoid needing to perform this operation again for future personnel changes. |
