Can someone tell me how to assign a new adminstrator on a Galaxy A7 tablet?

 

Assume I already added the user. I just want to change the current administrator to a the new user I added.

Do you mean, Device Administrator? 

It's normally just apps that can be granted Device Admin privileges. 

Is the Tablet a personal device or school, work etc? 

What type of Administrator access are you looking for?

When I initially setup the tablet for my child, I used a dummy Google account. That way if it ever got lost, it wouldn't matter so much to me.

That tablet says it's the administrator account. It has administrator in brackets beside the account name.

But, now, I want to add parental controls for YT Kids and I had to add my real account.

Since I had to add my real Google account, I want to assign the admin account to my account.

How can I do that?

The tablet is personal.

And I don't know what types of Administrator access there are.  I'm looking for, just general adminstrator access to move the (Administrator) title beside the dummy account to my own account.
