How to add an admin from another team to manage your team

A Dropbox business team can add an admin from another team to manage their own team. The new admin then becomes a "multi-team admin". The new admin, or "multi-team admin", will have all the capabilities of an admin from your own team, except:

• They can’t access the Billing or Help pages in the Admin console
• They can’t log in to a team member’s account
