Every team member holds a role, and the role decides what that person can see and change inside the team. Change a role from the team's member list, and the new permissions apply straight away.

## Before you start

- You are an **Admin** or **Owner** of the team. Members can view the list on a public team but cannot change roles.
- The person already appears in the team's member list. Invited people who have not joined yet show a **Pending** badge.
- You are changing someone else's role. The action menu does not appear on your own row.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open the team's member list

In the settings sidebar, select **Members** under your team.

### Step 2: Open the member's action menu

Find the person in the list. The **Role** column shows the role they hold now — **Member**, **Admin**, or **Owner**. Click the three-dot menu at the end of their row.

### Step 3: Open the member's details

Choose **Edit**. A panel opens on the right with the person's profile, their current **Role**, and the apps they have connected.

### Step 4: Choose the new role

Click **Edit** at the bottom of the panel, then select **Member**, **Admin**, or **Owner** next to **Role**. Click **Update** to save the new role.

## Tips

- Only the team **Owner** can hand out the **Owner** role. Everyone else sees **Member** and **Admin** only.
- The **Role** badge in the list filters the table — click it to show only the people holding that role.
- If the team uses custom roles instead of the built-in ones, the panel replaces the role buttons with a role list to pick from.
- Set the role when you invite someone rather than fixing it afterwards — the invite dialog asks for the role before the invitation is sent.

## Summary

Open **Members** for the team, use the three-dot menu on the person's row, choose **Edit**, pick the new role, and click **Update**.
