    checkbox in the
    Users

When no one has administrator privileges

If no one at your firm is a member of the Administrator group, you'll need to contact Support for help.

Other administration privileges for non-administrators

Internal User Administration and Portal User Administration privileges are lesser privileges that you can grant to users on the User tab. These privileges let a non-administrator user to do limited tasks, such as set up users, reset passwords, and manage ClientFlow users.
A user can't be a member of the Administrator group and also be granted these lesser user administration privileges.
