What to do if the Admin left your company

Updated yesterday

If you're blocked from managing your Fyxer account because the Admin is no longer with your company, you're not stuck.


Why This Happens

In Fyxer, only Admins can manage billing, seats, and team settings. If the person who originally created the account or was assigned Admin access leaves the company, you may see messages like:

  • "Contact your account administrator"

  • "Only admins can manage billing"

  • "You don't have permission to perform this action"

Even if:

  • You are the company owner

  • You're paying for the subscription

  • The Admin no longer works at your company


Step 1: Check If There Is Another Admin

Before contacting support, check whether another Admin already exists.

  1. Go to Settings → Team

  2. Open the Members tab

  3. Look for users marked as Admin

If another Admin is listed, ask them to:

  • Grant you Admin access, or

  • Transfer Admin ownership to you



Step 2: If the Admin Is Gone or Unreachable

If:

  • The Admin has left the company

  • You don't recognize the Admin

  • There is no Admin listed

  • You're paying but can't manage billing

Contact Fyxer Support - we can help restore access securely.


What to Send to Support

Email [email protected] with:

  • Your organization name

  • Your work email address

  • The issue you're seeing (e.g. "I can't manage billing because the admin left")

  • Proof of ownership if available (e.g. recent invoice, billing email)

Our team will:

  • Verify ownership

  • Reassign Admin access

  • Help you regain control of billing and settings



Step 3: Prevent This From Happening Again

Once access is restored, we strongly recommend:

  • Assigning at least two Admins

  • Ensuring the billing owner is an Admin

  • Reviewing Admin roles when team members leave

This prevents lockouts and delays in the future.



Common Questions

I'm the CEO / founder - why wasn't I Admin automatically?

Admin status is assigned per account, not by job title. If you joined an existing organization (for example via domain auto-add), you may have been added as a Member by default.

Can support make me Admin?

Yes - after verifying ownership. This protects your organization from unauthorized access.

Will my data or subscription be affected?

No. Your emails, meeting notes, and subscription remain intact while access is corrected.
