Changing User Roles

There are three possible roles a user can have in Cloudhouse Guardian (Guardian): Administrator, Analyst, or Member. Each role has different permissions, which means each role can perform different actions in Guardian. For more information on user roles, including details on the limitations and permissions set for each role, see Users.

If you need to change a user's role for any reason, you can do so from an organization's Users page (Account > Manage Accounts > Users).

Note: Each organization has its own unique list of users, and one user's permissions may vary from one organization to another. Additionally, changes made to user permissions do not automatically apply to each organization a user has access to. For more information on organizations, see Organization Accounts.

To change a user's role, complete the following process:

1. On the Users page, click the ellipsis () next to the user whose role you want to change. A drop-down list is displayed with the alternative roles available.

   Note: The options in this list vary depending on the role that is currently assigned. For example, for a user who is already a Member, the 'Make Member' option is not displayed.

2. Select Make Admin, Make Analyst, or Make Member from the drop-down list.

   Note: To view a description of each role, see Users. Depending on your Guardian deployment method, you may be prompted to enter your password when changing a user to an Administrator role.

   

The Users page automatically refreshes to reflect the user's updated role, which is displayed in the Role column.
