Tell us about your Realm Set up!

Hello Realm Admin Qrew!

I have a question for you to answer:

How many realm admins do your organization have? Do you share roles and responsibilities?

Example: I have two realm admins (including myself). We share some responsibilities, but would like to give access to everything to my second realm admin. Is that possible? What are the drawbacks I need to be aware of?

Let's start a discussion and share your thoughts below!

    We have 3 realm admins (my regular work account, my service user, and my boss because he's the one with the authority to sign contracts). I handle everything though, since it's my job.

      Thank you for your response Katlyn! I'm curious as the head realm admin, are you documenting your governance practices for others to review and understand? Are other realm admin regularly working in the platform alongside you, or are you the lone wolf at your organization? 

  • We have 3 realm admins, but the other two are literally "in case I get hit by a bus".  They don't do anything or probably even know they have access.

    My Service Desk team has admin access to remove account access, but all other requests come to me.

      Thank you for your responses, Anne! Glad to see that you have additional realm admins in case something happens to you. Very smart! Would you say the others would need some free training resources or require some familiarity about how your organization uses Quickbase? If so, let me know and I'll be happy to pass along some resources and tips that can help get folks up to speed on the great work you are doing with Quickbase.
