Change a user's role

{!admin-only.md!}

Users join as owners, administrators, moderators, members, or guests, 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 instead).
