What is an account admin
Every AppsFlyer account has only one account admin (admin) who is also known as an account owner. Account admins can be changed.

Replacing an admin
It is important to find a replacement admin before the current one leaves. Due to the wide-ranging access permissions held by an admin, AppsFlyer must confirm your new admin.

|---|---|---|

Important!
- When a new admin is created, this resets reporting API tokens (Pull, Master, and GDPR). Data Locker credentials remain unchanged.
- Use a reset token to update your scripts and automated procedures.
Requesting an admin change
To begin the replacement process, an email must be sent from the email account of the current admin.
What if the admin has left your company? Ask your IT team to enable you to send an email from the former admin's email account.
