Adminland

Adminland is the place to make administrative changes to your account like adding someone new, removing someone from the account, changing which plan you're on, or updating your billing info. Everyone can see Adminland, but only Admins and Owners can actually make changes.

To get started, navigate to the Home page, and click the πŸ”‘Adminland link in the upper right corner:

Jump to:


Administrators

Administrators can add/remove people, change which projects someone is on, add/remove other administrators, manage groups and companies, rename project tools, change message categories, move projects from Basecamp 2 to Basecamp 4, merge people, and set the data retention rules for Pings and Chat:

Account Owners

Account Owners can do everything Admins can plus handle billing, invoices, plans, and add-ons, manage storage, add/remove other owners, rename account, view/restore anything in the trash, reassign someone's to-dos, access any project, export data from the account, manage public items, and require two-factor authentication:

Non-admins

People who aren't administrators or owners will just see a list of who to Ping in order to get account stuff taken care of:

If you are a non-admin, you can quickly send a Ping message to admins and owners right from the Adminland:


Add-ons

All Add-ons are included with the Pro Unlimited plan. On other plans, each add-on can be added individually by going to Billing & Invoices > 'Change your plan and add-ons'

Admin Pro Pack

Admin Pro Pack gives account owners and admins greater control over user permissions. This includes restricting who can send Pings, turn on public sharing links, and delete projects and other content. Learn more about what's included and how it works: πŸ”— Admin Pro Pack β†’

If you are interested, you can add the Admin Pro Pack to your account as an add-on. From the bottom of Adminland, you'll see the available add-ons. Choose one to add it to your current plan:

Removing an Add-on is just as easy, and will remove the feature or revert all options back to their defaults. Go to Adminland > Handle billing, invoices, plans and add-ons > Change your plan and add-ons.

Timesheet

Timesheet allows everyone to track the time spent on tasks, such as the entire project, or individual items, like to-dos, events, and more.  Timesheet is included with Pro Unlimited, and costs $50/month on per-user plans. Learn more about how it works: πŸ”— Timesheet β†’

To add Timesheet as an add-on, head to Adminland > Handle billing, invoices, plans, and add-ons.

If you need a report of time tracked, head to Activity β€Ί Timesheets. Here you can view and filter timesheets across the account, and export the results as a CSV file. It's a great way to collect hours for the last month to send to a client, or tally up totals for a person on a specific project.

Removing is just as easy - head to Adminland > Handle billing, invoices, plans, and add-ons > Check your options > Remove > Confirm removal.

Storage

Storage can be added onto an account for $50/month for 1TB. To learn more about storage options: πŸ”— Storage β†’

To add storage to your account, you must be the account owner. Head to Adminland > Manage storage > Add more storage to get this added.

Adding more storage doesn't affect the other features of your current plan in any way. The additional storage acts like an add-on to your account plan β€” you can upgrade or downgrade your account plan and the additional storage will not be modified.

To remove the additional storage, simply go to Adminland > Manage storage > Manage additional storage > Remove storage.

Remove Add-on

Removing any add-on is just as easy, and will revert all the options included in that pack back to their defaults. Remove any add-on through Adminland through the same process you added it, but by using the remove option.
