How To Give Admin rights In Blogger?

blogger-admin-rightsBlogger gives you the option to choose up to 100 blog Authors or contributors and 100 blog readers. Most often while designing blogger templates I need to access my client's Edit HTML section and the only way to have such privileges is to request Admin rights from my client. After receiving Admin rights I get complete control over his posts, widgets, template and entire blog control panel. Administrator rights should be granted only when you full trust over the contributor or your partner else it is equivalent to your blog's post mortem. 

 

 

Granting Admin Privileges to Someone in Blogger?

  1. Go To Blogger > Settings > Permissions
  2. Click the Add Authors Button
  3. enter the email ID of the person you wish to grant Admin or Author rights
  4. Hit the invite button and then blogger will send an email to that person. Once he accepts your email, you will start seeing his name and ID on your Permissions page.

     6.     You have now successfully transferred or shared your blog with another person.

How to take Admin rights back?

  1. nice post Mohd.
    I need to ask you a very big question on this topic .it will be nice if u can make a separate post on this topic .
    my question :-
    Mohd. I have blog http://telugublogofshirdisai.blogspot.com/ which is run by my very dear uncle as this particular blog is in Telugu language which I dont know at all.so he is the one who posts and i just do the designing part .

    Now the main problem is in putting the adsens in this blog ,I have not put my adsens in this because i am scared that uncle might click unknowingly as he is old and not that computer savy and it can lead in blocking my account as he has the admin rights ....is it true ???

    2.but somewhere i had read the tutorial that we can switch off the ads while our visitors can still see them this can prevent from unsafe clicks but unfortunately i couldn't understand that tutorial well.

    mohd. pls show me a way out to this problem .as this blog too has good number of visitors which is going in vein ...

    rest is all good at my end ,hope the same for u :)
    love n blessings

    Priyanka, You can install Adblock google chrome extension or adblockplus firefox/chrome extension to bock any ads. Just do a google search

  3. This is something that always mystified me, "allowing Admin rights = total control equal to that of blog owner". Surely it would have been better if Blogger had redesigned the system so that the owner still has the final say whether it be to delete posts or the blog entirely?

    Let's hope Blogger makes some changes to this sometime in the future.

    Thank you for this article, my friend, I shall definitely share - there are many who do not realise the risk of allowing others to become full Admins on their blogs :)

    Oh please you must add Adsense to that blog also. Just tell your uncle to install this addon or the ones mentioned by @Monk

    And sis I guess if you educate him a little about Adsense then I am sure he will be careful. I am so proud of you for all that you do. Truly multitasking for a person who is a mother at the same time. :)

    @Monk
    Nice recommendations buddy. :)

    @Alwyn
    Indeed brother, after all Your blog is your hard earned online property. And there still exists Blog Author option in blogger but yes I would agree that Blog admin option should be based on some restrictions. Blogger will hopely change it after years as it is too slow in these matters. :p

  9. It used to be that way, but not anymore. Blogger Team will not permit you to do that. Only what they think is good for you. I am still trying. My old email is overflowing with spam and I have acquire two other emails which I now use regularly. But even my old email people will not let me change the email.
