{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, **Admins**, **Users**, and **Guest Users**
* Account **Owners**
* Only supported using the Cerby web app and the Cerby mobile app
  {% endhint %}

As an account **Owner**, you can update the role of other workspace users on your accounts.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**IMPORTANT:** You can only update a user’s role if shared access is via a direct grant to the account or a collection to which you have the **Owner** role. You can identify this access under the **Shared via** column.
{% endhint %}

To update a user’s role on an account, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your corresponding [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Click the corresponding account card. The account details page is displayed with the **General** tab activated.
3. Activate the **Users** tab. The **User Overview** section is displayed with a table of users with shared access to the account.\
   **IMPORTANT:** Users who have received shared access to the account multiple times appear with the **Information** icon next to their Cerby role.
4. Click the user’s current role under the **Cerby role** column. A side drawer is displayed with the current role of the user and a list of the different role assignments they have been granted on the account.
5. Select the user’s new role from the **Role** drop-down.
   * **Owner:** Users can share accounts, manage access and account configuration, and view passwords through the user interface (UI) and API responses.
   * **Collaborator:** Users can only view passwords through API responses for account login with Cerby; viewing passwords through the UI is restricted.
6. Click the **Apply** button. A success message box is displayed.

Now you are done.
