+# Administration 
+
+This document provides instructions for common administrator tasks
+
+##### Creating System Administrator account from commandline
+  - If the System Administrator account becomes unavailable, a person leaving the organization for example, you can set a new system admin from the commandline using `./platform -assign_role -team_name="yourteam" -email="you@example.com" -role="system_admin"`. 
+  - After assigning the role the user needs to log out and log back in before the System Administrator role is applied.
+
+##### Deactivating a user 
+
+  - Team Admin or System Admin can go to **Main Menu** > **Manage Members** > **Make Inactive** to deactivate a user, which removes them from the team. 
+  - To preserve audit history, users are never deleted from the system. It is highly recommended that System Administrators do not attempt to delete users manually from the database, as this may compromise system integrity and ability to upgrade in future.
