Add or remove a delegated administrator
When you subscribe to a service in the Microsoft Office 365 family, you are given administrator permissions. You can then assign administrator permissions to other users in your company. However, if you want someone else to administer the service, you can delegate this role to a Microsoft partner. When you authorize a partner to take on this role, the partner is referred to as a delegated administrator.
If are not currently working with a partner, you can find one on the Microsoft Pinpoint website.
