Change someone's roles

A person's roles decide what they can see and do. They can hold several, and their permissions add up.

  1. In Admin, open Users and click the person. Their details open in a side panel.
  2. Under Roles, click Add new role.
  3. Pick a Role and click Add.

To take a role away, click the × on its chip under Roles. Both changes apply immediately.

Make someone an admin

Give them the built-in Administrator role. Administrators hold every permission and are the only people who can open Admin. A custom role can't open Admin, however many permissions it grants. New admins must set up two-factor authentication.

Good to know:

  • While a user's deletion is scheduled, their roles are locked.
  • Roles & permissions lists your system administrators, but you can't grant or remove that role in the app; see System administrator actions.
