How do I change an admin user's role?

On the Admin Users page, click the pencil icon next to the person's Member Role and pick a new role. It saves straight away.

What a member role is​

  • A job title you give to an admin user, such as "Site Manager" or "Accountant".
  • It helps you see who does what.

Steps​

  1. In the left menu, under Platform, click Admin Users.
  2. Find the person in the list.
  3. Click the pencil icon next to their Member Role.
  4. Pick the new role from Select role.
  5. You will see Member role updated successfully.

Choosing a new member role from the Select role list

Add, rename or delete member roles​

  • Click Member Roles in the top-right corner of the Admin Users page.
  • To add a role, click Add Role, type the name in Enter new role and click the green tick.
  • To rename or delete a role, click the ⋮ button next to it and choose Rename or Delete.
  • Only an account administrator can add, rename or delete member roles.

Good to know​

  • You can't change your own member role.
  • People with project member access can view the list, but can't change member roles.
  • A project administrator can't change the member role of an account administrator.
  • To stop without changing anything, click the red cross next to the list.
  • If you don't see the Member Roles button, member roles aren't turned on for your organisation.
