  Hi there,

  Making another user an admin on your site won’t have any effect on your account.

  However, think carefully before you do this. An admin can do anything on a site, including adding new people as admins, buying upgrades, changing the theme, and deleting the site completely. Ideally a site should never have more than one admin, and should you really need to add a second, it should be only be someone you trust completely.

  Rather give someone the user role with only the abilities that they need to have:
