# Change a member's role

Make someone an Org Admin, Member, Observer or Guest, or transfer ownership of the workspace.

A member's org role sets what they can do across the workspace.

**Who can do this:** roles with Manage members, Owners and Admins by default. See [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

## Change a role {#steps}

1. Open Settings. Under Workspace, click **Members**.
2. On the person's row, click their Org Role pill. You can't change your own role.
3. Pick **Org Member**, **Org Admin**, **Org Observer** or **Org Guest**.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The pill shows the new role. It applies on the person's next page load.

- An Observer is read-only and takes no paid seat.
- A Guest sees only what is shared with them directly.

## Transfer ownership {#transfer}

Only the owner can do this.

1. On the new owner's row, click their Org Role pill and pick **Org Owner**.
2. In Transfer Organization Ownership, click **Transfer Ownership**.

Their pill shows Org Owner, and yours shows Org Admin.
