How does the Workspace Admin role get assigned, and why is it greyed out?

Hi

 

In the Administration App, what determines whether the Workspace Admin role is assigned to a user? I can't click on it - it's greyed out.

 

 

I wondered whether it might get ticked automatically if the user in question has the Workspace Admin box ticked in a model, but that doesn't seem to be it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Thanks for the replies.

I already have to Workspace Admin role assigned to me in multiple workspaces. I'm trying to understand how to assign that role to someone else. I can't see a place do do it in Administration. I can go into a model, pull up the list of users and tick on the "Workspace Admin" check box for the particular user, but that doesn't turn on the Workspace Admin assignment in Administration.

Thank you both.

@DaanishSoomar, what you're saying makes perfect sense, but I tried that and it didn't seem to work.

Maybe what @JaredDolich said is right and I need to wait a while. I'll try it again and see if things are different in the morning.

I take your point that this is going to change somewhat in the near future.

Ah, that's it. The user I was experimenting with was a visitor. If I make one of "our" users a workspace administrator within a model, their role assignment automatically starts to include the Workspace Admin role for that model's workspace.

 

Thank you!

Makes sense. Thank you for the insight and education!
