How do I change a teammate's role in the 'Share documentation' modal?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: Open 'Share', locate the teammate under 'People with access', use the role dropdown (shows 'Member') to select a new role (Admin/Member/Owner), then click 'Save'.

Prerequisites

  1. You can open the 'Share documentation' modal

  2. You have permission to change roles (some roles may be restricted)

Steps

  1. Click 'Share' to open the 'Share documentation' modal.
    Modal shows 'People with access'.

  2. Find the teammate in the 'People with access' list and click the role dropdown (for example the visible 'Member' dropdown).
    Role options are visible.

  3. Select the desired role (Admin, Member, Owner) and click 'Save'.
    Role is updated in the list.

Troubleshooting

  1. Cannot assign a role (option disabled or not present).
    LikelyCause: Your account may not have permission to assign certain roles (Owner role often restricted).
    Action: Ask the current Owner/Admin to assign the role for you.

Note: The modal shows current roles next to each person (Admin, Member, Owner) to help avoid accidental privilege changes.
