Quickbase built-in admin roles

See also Realm admin capabilities.

This role manages security settings for a realm (such as password complexity requirements), single sign-on settings, advanced encryption, as well as some user management settings (such as assigning super users). Each realm may have one or more realm admins.

Realm admins also have ownership over all the data in the realm’s billing account. However, realm admins do not automatically have any access to or admin rights over any of the accounts on the realm. Virtually all realm admins are also account admins (see below), for one or more of the accounts under the realm.

If you would like to add or remove a realm admin, please open a support case.

See also Admin capabilities.

This role has full access to manage an account, including managing users, groups, and apps. They also manage details about their Quickbase plan, and can update their payment method, change their plan, and cancel their service. Each account may have one or more full management account admins.

Full management account admins do not automatically have access to the apps on their account. A realm admin (see above) can grant a full management account administrator access to all apps on an account by making them a super user. Also, a full management account admin can promote themselves to application manager of any app on their account, giving themselves direct access and control of an app.

You have the ability to grant Pipeline access and management. Pipeline management is an option in the Admin console -> Permissions.

See also Admin capabilities.

This role is similar to full management account admin. The difference is, support-level account admins cannot make any changes to an account’s plan, they cannot delete or transfer apps, and they cannot set certain account properties such as allowing apps on the account to be available to everyone on the internet.

The purpose of this role is to delegate the responsibility of day-to-day management of a Quickbase account without having full control over that account.

You have the ability to grant Pipeline access and management.
