# Create a Contact Center Admin

Contivio will create a portal administrator for you by default. However, you are able to add additional administrators, depending on how many people you'd like to have access to the portal.

As your Company's Admin, you have the power. Manage your teams, configure IVR flows, set up users, run historical reports, and much much more: you can do it all. 

This article will detail how to add a new Admin to your call center.
