Managers have the highest level of administrative access within a Sutra space. The scope of their permissions depends on where they are assigned:
1. Top-Level Space Managers
When you assign someone as a manager at the top-level (the main "container" space), they gain administrative access to all subspaces within it (including any nested child spaces under those subspaces).
2. Subspace Managers
If you assign a manager role within a specific subspace, their permissions apply only to that subspace (and to any nested child spaces it may contain).

How to add a manager:
1. Adding a manager to the top level space
Inside your top level space (program/community “container” space), click on Manage button:
The General Settings section will open.
Use the bright blue “Invite” button as if you were inviting members to your program/community:
Within the invitation menu that opens on the left, type their email address in the first field, add an optional welcom message and choose the role:
Even if your program is paid, you can create an individual free invitation to any person by putting 0 in the price field. See here:
2. Assign manager role to a member within your Sutra space.
Within Manage Area, go to Members section. Locate the person and change their role from Member to Manager:
The person whom you add as a manager can have a Basic / Free account on Sutra. If you add another manager to the program spaces created by you, this person will have access to all the features of your plan within this particular program.

Troubleshooting
I can't add another manager — The Silver plan allows up to 2 managers. To add more, upgrade to the Gold plan, which allows unlimited managers.
My program is paid and I don't want to charge the manager — Create an individual free invitation by entering 0 in the price field.
The manager only has access to part of my program — Manager permissions are scoped to where they're assigned. Assign them at the top-level space for access to all subspaces, or within a subspace to limit them to that area.

Managers aren't the only role you can assign. Add editors to help create and manage content, or moderators to keep discussions on track. Review the full breakdown of roles and permissions to choose the right fit.
