There's two steps to adding another member as a profile manager.
First, they will need to be added to the profile's Trusted List. If you know their email address, you can add them as follows: (1) click on the Privacy tab on the profile, (2) enter their email address in the section titled "Add to Trusted List", then (3) click the button that says "Add this person".
Once they are on the profile's Trusted List, you can add them as a profile manager by doing this: (1) click on the Privacy tab, then (2) click the link that says "[Add as Manager]" on the right hand side of their name.
I hope that helps!
