Hi there So, my client is in a Starter Customer Platform with 1 core seat. For the moment I am using this seat as Super Admin to build her website. She has View Only. I want to set myself as Partner Admin but in order to do so, there needs to be a second Super Admin. But I can set her status to Super since there is only 1 core seat and I am the Super. Going in circles here… Please help 🙂 Thx, Céline ---

Hi [@Cé\_Walhalla](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/639754), Yeah - that’s tricky since you can’t set yourself as view only while you’re a super admin. It’s not ideal, but I’d probably purchase another core seat for the time being. Once that’s complete you’d be able to assign her a seat, make her Super Admin, and then change to Partner Admin.

Ok. But then we would need to pay for a month or so? ---

[@Cé\_Walhalla](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/639754), Yes, that is correct. I know it’s not ideal, but it will be the path of least resistance. ---

[@Cé\_Walhalla](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/639754) Am I missing something here? :). You could transfer the super admin ownership back to her and go to view only for the time being and then ask her to add you as a partner? That way she stays as the super admin and you get the partner role? ---

@Onkarv super admin status cannot be transferred – you would first have to grant it for another user, then remove it for yourself, which means there’s a short point in time where two people must be super admins. Edit: I stand corrected, as you point out in your next reply, HubSpot has indeed introduced an option for this. ---

It does allow you? Have done it in the past and it will shut down access to this page soon as I transfer my seat to someone else. ![Screenshot 2024-11-26 at 12.08.36 PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/1X/76ddf869804e2c96866c57a0e8c30aa3844e1d09.png) ---

@Onkarv nice one! I was not aware of this. I updated my previous reply with a note labeling it as incorrect. This should indeed solve the original issue then, thank you for sharing. ---

[@Cé\_Walhalla](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/639754) Go to settings \> Users and teams \> Seats \> Transfer your seat to the other member. She now has the super admin access to add you as a partner.
