Change a member's role

A member’s role is set per workspace, so you change it from the workspace where you want it to apply. You can also add an existing member to additional workspaces.

  1. Sign in to Acme and go to Settings → Members.
  2. On the Members tab, find the person you want to update.
  3. Under their name you’ll see each workspace they belong to, with a role selector next to each one.
  4. Choose the new role (User, Developer, or Admin) for the relevant workspace.

The change applies immediately, and you’ll see a confirmation that the member’s role was updated. Their access to that workspace updates to match the new role right away.

If a member isn’t yet in a workspace you want to give them access to, add them and set their role at the same time:

  1. Go to Settings → Members and find the member on the Members tab.
  2. Select Add to workspace next to their name.
  3. In the dialog, tick the workspaces you want to add them to.
  4. For each selected workspace, choose the role they should have (it defaults to User).
  5. Select Assign Workspaces.

The member gains access to the chosen workspaces with the roles you set, and you’ll see a confirmation.

  • You can’t change your own role. The role selector is for managing other members; if you need your role changed, ask another admin or the organization owner.
  • “Owner” isn’t an assignable role. You assign User, Developer, or Admin. Organization ownership is a separate axis — see Roles and permissions.
  • To remove access instead of changing it, see Remove a member.
