To allow partner users with the Delegated External User Administrator permission to manage other members, add the **Members** related list to Accounts page layout.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-access-264-0-0-production-enus/a92be132-3cbc-412a-9262-130636120c14/images/icon_note.png)

Note To simplify the member creation process, configure a light user creation form for the delegated administrator to use. Go to **Setup** | **Object Manager** | **User** | **Member Page Layouts** to customize which fields are included on the Member page. You can remove Language and Locale Settings and Chatter from the form. Values for removed fields default to the settings of the delegated administrator. If your delegated admin is entering values other than their own in the Locale and Language and Chatter settings, leave them on the form.

1. Select the icon of the account that you’re managing, and select **Account Management**.
2. From Account Management, select the **Members** tab to access a list of site members.

3. To reset a members password or manage their permission sets, select an option from the dropdown arrow on the member’s row.
