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
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devices.
To create operator accounts for the Hotspot Manager, see
“Operator Accounts” on page 105.
Username Displays the name of the administrator.
Email Displays the email address of the administrator.
