To manage file access and permissions, users can have four different roles within Keeper: Super Admin, Admin, Manager, and Standard User.
The Super Admin is typically the user who created the Keeper account, or the person who first signed up for Keeper. There is only ONE Super Admin allowed per file, while there is no limit to the number of Practice Admins, Managers, and Standard Users per file.

FAQs
Is it possible to transfer the Super Admin role to another user?
You cannot manually transfer the Super Admin role to another user. However, it can be done on the back end by Keeper Support!
Reach out at help@keeper.app if you need to transfer your Super Admin permissions to another user. Only the current Super Admin can make this request.
The Save button is greyed out when I go to add a new user, what's up with that?
If you're adding a user and you're unable to hit Save to finish adding them, there are a few possible reasons this could be happening.
The most common reason for this would be that the user's email address is already active in Keeper. This could mean that they are active in another Keeper account.
You can have another account with the same email, but you need to use a slight workaround. If you add a plus sign in your email address, Keeper will treat the email as unique, while also sending all emails to the same email address. This works because mail clients ignore anything that comes after a plus.
For example, if you have an account under firstname@example.com, you can add another account with the email address firstname+00@example.com, and all emails send to firstname+00@example.com will still go to the firstname@example.com inbox.
If this does not apply, or if you're not sure, reach out to Keeper Support!
