Settings > Admins
You can create administrator accounts that are
site-specific; these site administrators can only see the
sites they manage and cannot see any devices that are
Pending Approval.
The super admin account is created during the Setup
Wizard and has global admin (read/write) access; this
super admin account cannot be revoked or re-invited.
Only the super admin –not any site admin– can view
wired devices that are Pending Approval and then adopt
them on the UniFi Controller.
Note: Ensure that you save the super admin login
information for futureuse, including the adoption of
new wired devices.

“Operator Accounts” on page 123.
