# How to become a Program Admin

Program admins have access only to applications of programs they were assigned to. Assignments are controlled by CiviForm admins on a per-program basis. If Alice (<alice@mycity.gov>) needs access to applications of program "Solar program":

1. CiviForm Admins need to go to Programs list and click "Manage Program Admins" on "Solar program". Then add `alice@mycity.gov` as admin.
2. Alice needs to log in to CiviForm using "Admin login" flow. Logging in using applicant flow won't work.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.civiform.us/user-manual/program-admin-guide/how-to-become-a-program-admin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
