A Firmex Site Administrator has administrator privileges over your Firmex site, not just a Firmex project.
As a Site Administrator, you get to control things at the site level. For example:
- Change your site's login screen appearance
- Add yourself to a project in case the project administrator is away
- Examine site usage reports to track how frequently your data room is being used
- Remove a user from your entire VDR, for example, when an employee leaves your company
As opposed to a Site Administrator, a Project Administrator can only change settings in their own projects, no one else's.
In this guide you’ll learn how to perform common Site Administrator tasks.

Adding Yourself To A Project
To add yourself to a project, do the following:
- Go to the Projects list (click your site logo at the top-left corner).
- Click the All Projects icon.
- Select the project you'd like to access or search for the project name. Once found, click the project name.
- When you access the project you won't see any documents, as you need to add yourself to the project first. To do so, go to the Groups & Users tab and click the Administrator group and add yourself to it. Learn more about adding users.
- Once you've added yourself to the project, go back to the Documents tab. Ensure that you have full access to all of the documents.
Performing a Project Cleanup
To remove a project, you may want to first perform a bulk download of the project. After following the steps above and ensuring you have access to all of a project's documents, perform a bulk download. You may want to create a backup of the information on a shared drive or physical media.
Confirm you have all of the files and folders in the project, including any Q&A questions and report audit trails you may need.
Once you are comfortable you have everything, you can then delete the project. To do so:
- Go to the Projects list (click your site logo at the top-left corner).
- Click the drop-down menu next to the project name you want to delete.
- Select "Delete Project". Type "Confirm" to verify the deletion.
