So we have a partner admin in our office 365 program

Question

Who handles all our new users in our office 365, and they practically handles everything. Including all users, permissions etc. in o365 and sharepoint.

We then recently hired a guy who by coincidence have handled a 365 before.

Can we just make him a global admin and let him make users etc also? Or is it ONLY the assigned partner who can do this, when one is assigned .

Thanks, sorry for bad English :)

Answer 1

Easy answer - yes. Global admins have full rights to the tennant. That's everything from creating users to managing licenses and subscriptions.
