    Hi Tim D!

    I am Shakiru, an independent advisor and a user like you, and I am glad to be helping you out today.

    Please note: If you are the only user on the account, you are already the admin by default.

    However, to become an admin on your Microsoft 365 account, you need to be assigned the role of Global Administrator by another admin in your organization.

    Here are the steps to assign the Global Administrator role to another user in Microsoft 365: * Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center (https://admin.microsoft.com/) with your admin credentials. * Click on "Users" in the left navigation menu. * Select the user you want to make an admin. * Click on "Roles" in the user details page. * Click "Add a role" and choose "Global administrator" from the list of available roles. * Click "Add" to add the role to the user.

    After the user has been assigned the Global Administrator role, they will have full access to the Microsoft 365 admin center and can manage all aspects of the account. Note that it's important to only assign the Global Administrator role to trusted individuals, as they will have access to sensitive information and settings.

    Kind Regards, Shakiru
