User Roles: Owner, Admin, User

    BUSINESS subscribers can assign a role to each user.

    How to assign a role

    Owners and Admins in a BUSINESS account can assign a role to each new user they create, or they can add/change a user's role when editing an existing user.

    The process of adding users is described here: Add users.

    To change the role of many users at once, Owners and Admins can select multiple users and then click Change Role.

    Note: Users are not notified of their role assignment. If you change a user's role, feel free to let them know directly since there are no automatic notifications.
    Note: When importing users in bulk, everyone is assigned the User role; the Role value is not taken into consideration even if present as a column in the import file.
