New Feature: Trusted Administrators

We’ve just launched a new feature designed for teams that need flexibility in managing their NestForms account — Trusted Administrators.

Whether it’s a long term full account handover to another manager or as a short-term measure, the Trusted Administrators feature allows the main account holder to assign full or partial admin access to a colleague without giving up control. This can be a fixed arrangement or time-limited, with permissions tailored and set to expire automatically if required.

Previously, permissions could only be assigned on a per form basis, with many features (like Custom DB and Triggers) unavailable to anyone but the main administrator. With Trusted Administrators, that restriction is gone.

How It Works

The main account holder can now:

  • Choose a colleague(s) from the account user list
  • Assign full control or specific permissions
  • Set a clear expiration date using a calendar for a temporary arrangement
  • Automatically have control revert back after that period ends

Once shared, the colleague will be asked if they’d like to log in under the shared rights. All actions are fully traceable and remain secure.

When You Might Use It

  • An office administrator or company accountant signs up with billing details but doesn’t need to manage the platform. Trusted Administrators lets them pass full access to someone in operations.
  • You’re going on leave and want a colleague to manage forms, responses, or exports while you're away  without needing to change account ownership.
  • A team leader needs temporary access to manage forms and reports while overseeing a specific project phase.

This level of flexibility is a first for NestForms, allowing organisations to maintain structure without losing control.

Trusted Administrators is available to Advanced and Premium account holders only.
