{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Only Administrators can create other Administrators and Instructors.

**Note**: Instructor accounts cannot be promoted to an Administrator. We recommend Administrators have both a Full Instructor and Administrator account if they teach any courses.

**Note**: Administrators cannot be demoted to an Instructor Role.
