Change a member's role

Workspace Owners and Admins can manage the roles and permissions of other members on their team.

Who can manage roles

• Primary Owners can promote and demote Owners and Admins. You cannot promote someone to be a Primary Owner, however, you can transfer ownership of a workspace. Read how to transfer primary ownership of your workspace for details.
• Owners can promote members to Owner and Admin. They can demote an Admin, but cannot demote another Owner.
• Admins can promote other members to Admin, but cannot demote Owners and other Admins.

Warning: Use care when promoting other members. Depending on your role, you may not be able to demote them afterward.

2. Select Administration, then Manage members.
