Tresorit offers three admin roles, each with a different set of permissions. Tresorit Business, Business Plus and Enterprise subscriptions are equipped with an Admin Center, where admins can manage the Tresorit users within their organization and the subscription itself. There are three types of admin roles: subscription owner, co-owner and co-admin.
Please note that you can only promote someone to Co-Owner in case the Advanced Control is enabled in your subscription.
