Of course, an administrator of your workspace may go out of office. In this case, a few steps need to be followed to ensure that your administration remains accessible.

Note: There must be at least 1 administrator in a workspace. This is because an administrator has the rights to create users and teams, among other things.

Check whether an administrator still exists. From '<a href="https://app.hoorayhr.io/people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colleagues</a>', you can easily see who has administrator rights within your Workspace.
