After creating member roles, manage them at any time from your site's dashboard. You can edit role details, assign them to members and delete them if they're no longer necessary.
How do I access my site's member roles?
In this article, learn how to:
Editing a member role
Every role has a name, color and description that you can edit to your needs.
To edit a role:
- Go to Site Members in your site's dashboard.
- Click Manage Member Roles at the top right.
- Click the More Actions icon on the role you want to edit.
- Click Edit Roles.
- Edit the role's name, color or description.
- Click Save.
Assigning a member role
You can always assign more members to an existing role, and remove members who should no longer have it.

- Click Manage Member Roles at the top right.
- Click the More Actions icon on the role you want to edit.
- Click Edit Roles.

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:
- Go to Site Members in your site's dashboard.
- Click Manage Member Roles at the top right.
- Click the More Actions icon on the role you want to edit.
- Click Delete.
