# Change a user's role
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
Users join as [owners, administrators, moderators, members, or
|
|
guests](/help/roles-and-permissions), depending on how they were
|
|
invited.
|
|
|
|
An organization owner can change the role of any user. An
|
|
organization administrator can change the role of most users, but
|
|
cannot create or demote an organization owner.
|
|
|
|
You can revoke your own owner or administrative privileges if
|
|
there is at least one other owner in the organization (consider
|
|
promoting a new owner or [deactivating the
|
|
organization](/help/deactivate-your-organization) instead).
