# What is a Co-Owner?

> A Co-Owner has full admin access, including Settings and user management, but can't transfer ownership.

A **Co-Owner** is one of the three Account Roles in exIQtive, just below Owner and above Administrator. A Co-Owner has full administrative access to the account, including Settings and user management. Unlike Owner, an account can have several Co-Owners at once.

## What a Co-Owner can do

What sets a Co-Owner apart from an Administrator is Settings and user management. A Co-Owner can:

* Access Settings and manage account configuration
* Give access to new users
* Suspend or restore access
* Change email addresses
* Add or remove other Co-Owners and Administrators

<Warning>
  A Co-Owner can suspend or restore Administrators and users with no admin permission, but can't suspend another Co-Owner. A Co-Owner can change their own email address, but not another Co-Owner's.
</Warning>

## What a Co-Owner can't do

**Transferring ownership** is reserved for the Owner. To close an account, please contact [support@exiqtive.com](mailto:support@exiqtive.com).

## Co-Owner vs Personas

Account Roles are separate from Personas, so a Co-Owner doesn't need to be an Employee at all. An external consultant can administer the account as a Co-Owner without holding any Position in the organization.
