* Supported using the Cerby web app and mobile app. For the mobile app instructions, read the article [Update a user’s role on a collection using the Cerby mobile app](https://help.cerby.com/cerby-mobile-app/collections/managing-access-to-your-collections/update-a-user-s-role-on-a-collection)
  {% endhint %}

As a collection **Owner**, you can update a user’s role in a collection. This action also updates the user’s role for the items in the collection.

To update a user’s role in a collection, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Select the **Collections** option from the left menu. The **Collections** page is displayed.
3. Click the **Settings** icon of the corresponding collection card. The collection details page is displayed with the **General** tab activated.
4. Activate the **Members** tab. The **Members** table is displayed with the list of users who have shared access to the collection, whether through direct access or through a team. ​**NOTE:** You cannot update individual user roles if they have shared access to the collection through a team. For instructions on how to update a team’s role, read the article [Update a team’s role on a collection](/cerby-web-app/collections/managing-access-to-your-collections/update-a-team-s-role-in-a-collection.md).
5. Select the option from the **Cerby role** drop-down menu that corresponds to the new role for the user:

   * **Owner:** Users can share access to the collection, manage the item settings, and perform the actions of a **Collaborator**.
   * **Collaborator:** Users can only log in to accounts, view secrets, and download the secret attachments.

   **NOTE:** Members with the **Login-only** and **Guest user** workspace roles can only be granted the **Collaborator** role on a collection.

A success message box is displayed.

You are done.
