# Add Administrators

Learn how to add Administrator accounts in Schedule Xpress, assign access permissions, and link Administrators to employee profiles.

Administrator accounts in Schedule Xpress allow Users to access administrative features and manage workforce operations within the platform. Depending on the level of access required, Administrators can be configured as either **Full Admins** with unrestricted access or **Managers** with controlled feature and record permissions.

## Account Details

The following details are required when adding an Administrator account:

-   **First name**
-   **Last name**
-   **Status**
-   **Email address**
-   **Mobile phone number**
-   **Username**
-   **Access role**

Additional account setup options include:

-   **Send new invite** to issue an account invitation
-   Selecting **SMS** or **Email** as the invitation delivery method

Depending on the selected **Access role**, you may also need to configure:

-   [**Record Access Group**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-record-access-groups)
-   [**Feature Access Group**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-feature-access-groups)

### Link an Administrator to an Employee

Administrators can be linked to an existing employee profile within Schedule Xpress. To create the link, follow the steps below:

1.  Click Add user in the top right corner.
2.  Paste the employee’s email address into the **Email** field of the Administrator account.
3.  Click outside of the field to force the link connection between the Administrator and employee profile.

**Note:** The employee profile cannot have a username longer than **8 characters**. If the username exceeds 8 characters, the employee and Administrator account will not link successfully and the username will need to be shortened first.

## Full Admin vs Manager Access

Administrators can be configured as either a **Full Admin** or a **Manager**.

-   **Full Admins** have unrestricted access to Schedule Xpress features and records.
-   **Managers** require both a [**Feature access group**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-feature-access-groups) and a [**Record access group**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-record-access-groups) to control which features and records they can access.

-   [**Manage Feature Access Groups**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/manage-feature-access-groups)

### Assign Access Groups During Administrator Setup

Feature and Record access groups can be assigned directly when creating or editing an Administrator account.

These settings are located at the bottom of the Administrator profile.
