Creating and managing sub-accounts

In this guide:

There are two types of Turnitin account administrators:

  • Primary account administrator - controls a consortium or campus level account and can also assign additional sub-administrators as necessary to oversee specific campuses or departments. An account can only have a single primary account administrator.
  • Sub-account administrators - have access only to the single campus or departmental accounts they are assigned, though a single user profile may serve as sub-administrator for multiple campuses or departments as needed.

Creating a sub-account

  1. Access your administrator home page.
  2. Select the New Account (+) icon for your top-level account.TFS_Admin_NewAccount.png
