Assigning a different role to a user

User Roles are a set of permissions that can be applied to multiple users to manage what they can do in your account. Roles are assigned as part of the process of adding a new user, but you can change the role of an existing user at any time.

For more information about User Roles and how they work, see Understanding User Roles.

 

Before you begin

To change user roles and user permissions, you must be an Administrator or be assigned a custom user role that has user management permissions.

Caution: Before changing a User Role, verify that the new permissions are suitable for all users with that role to prevent unintentionally granting or revoking access to features. See Checking the permissions included in a User Role if you're unsure how to check a User Role's permissions.

 

Assigning a User Role

1. Go to Team

2. Select Users

3. Select the user you'd like to edit to open the configuration sidebar menu

4. In the User Roles drop-down menu, choose a new role for that user:

5. Select Save Changes to confirm your change

The user will be instantly granted the permissions given by the role.

 

Assigning a User Role to several users at once

The selected users will be instantly granted the permissions given by that role.
