Customisable Admin roles

I'm unsure if it has been suggested or not, but I would like to be able to customise admin roles have just the 3 admin roles, I find is not flexible enough.   For example I don't wont to give an user full blown team admin rights but I want some of those team admin rights adding to the user management admin so they can also managed team folders etc.

If Dropbox can allow to create and customise admin roles would be great.

    Fully agree with this, we want each department manager to be able to create and share TeamFolders - currently they are User Management Admins which restricts them from doing this.

    There is definitely a layer missing. There is no way we could allow each of our managers to have the Team Admin role, this would allow them to Sign-in as User and view sensitive HR and/or investment/financial data.

    Obviously it's slow to have to request TeamFolders to be created by the Team Admin each time and for settings.

    Brilliant idea!

    We'll look into this and I'll loop back soon.

    Hey folks, about 8 months ago I promised you an update....
     
    We're just rolling out a Billing admin role, following on from that, over the coming weeks, you will see a number of other dedicated admin roles appear in the Admin Console!
     
    Thanks so much for the feedback that drove us to develop this and expand our offering of roles and permissions.
