# 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.
