# Make someone a Team Admin or team owner

Change a person's role in a team, or hand the team to a new owner.

Team roles are separate from org roles. They set what someone can do with the team's goals.

- **Team Member**: Can create goals for the team and edit goals they own.
- **Team Admin**: Can also edit and delete the team's goals and its members' goals.
- **Team Owner**: The team's lead. Always listed on the team, and a Team Admin too.

**Who can do this:** anyone who can manage the team, Owners and Admins by default. See [Team roles](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#team-roles).

## Change a team role {#steps}

1. Open Settings. Under Workspace, click **Teams**, then the team's name.
2. On the person's row, click their team role pill.
3. Pick **Team Member** or **Team Admin**. To hand over the team, pick **Team Owner** and click **Transfer ownership**.

> The pill shows the new role.

A new owner can be someone who hasn't signed in yet. The old owner stays a Team Admin only if they were already on the team.
