Change a member's role
Make someone an Org Admin, Member, Observer or Guest, or transfer ownership of the workspace.
Last updated Nov 10, 2026
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.
Change a role #
- Open Settings. Under Workspace, click Members.
- On the person's row, click their Org Role pill. You can't change your own role.
- Pick Org Member, Org Admin, Org Observer or Org Guest.
- An Observer is read-only and takes no paid seat.
- A Guest sees only what is shared with them directly.
Transfer ownership #
Only the owner can do this.
- On the new owner's row, click their Org Role pill and pick Org Owner.
- In Transfer Organization Ownership, click Transfer Ownership.
Their pill shows Org Owner, and yours shows Org Admin.
