  2. When ready, click Add. 
Removing a member from a role?
Click the More Actions icon next to a member, then click Remove.

Deleting a member role

You can delete roles that are no longer needed in your Members Area. This means the members who had this role lose their page permissions.
Important:
  • When you delete a role, it is removed from any member that had the role. The member also loses access to any pages that were included in the role. 
  • If you restricted a certain page to one role and then delete that role, the page becomes available to all members. If you want to keep the page restricted, you'll need to change the permissions of your member roles. 

To delete a role:

  1. Go to Site Members in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Manage Member Roles at the top right.
  3. Click the More Actions icon on the role you want to edit. 
  4. Click Delete.
  5. Click Delete to confirm.
