Changing member roles in a workspace

Only managers can change the roles of other member in a workspace.

Note: Member roles cannot be changed in a Mobile Workspace for SharePoint.

To see the roles currently assigned to all members in the workspace, select File - Properties - Workspace, and click the Roles tab in the Properties dialog box.

You can also point at any name in the Workspace Members list to see that member's role in a status window:

To change a member's role:

  1. Select File - Properties - Workspace, and click the Roles tab in the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the member whose role you want to change.

  3. Click Change Role... to open the Change Role dialog box.

  4. Select the role you want and click OK.

  5. Click Apply if you want to apply the current role change and do other activities in this dialog box, or click OK to apply the change and close the dialog box.

Tip: You can change a role for one member quickly from the Workspace Members panel: Right-click the member and select Role to open the Change Role dialog box.
