In the Admin menu, select Users. This will bring up a list of all users in your workspace.
- Choose the User
Scroll through the list or use the search bar to find the user whose permissions you want to change.
- Click Edit
Once you’ve found the user, click Edit next to their name.
- Update Permissions
Here, you can change their role:- Make them an Admin if they need full access and control.

- Or, keep them as a User but enable specific permissions they need.

- Make them an Admin if they need full access and control.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed a user’s permissions.
