# Update a guest member's role in a local partner

This article describes how to update a guest member’s role in an existing local partner.

**Who can use this feature?**

* **Host Admins** and **Guest Admins** of a local partner
* Only supported using the Cerby web app

***

As a **Host Admin** or **Guest Admin** of a [local partner](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/partners#h-7e4add33a2), you can update a guest member’s role to grant them the permissions they need to streamline collaboration.

The following rules apply when updating roles:

* **Host Admins** and **Guest Admins** can update the role of **Guest Users** to **Guest Admins** and vice versa.
* **Guest Admins** can downgrade themselves to **Guest Users**.

To update a guest member’s role, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Select the **Partners** option from the left menu. The **Partners** page is displayed.
3. Select the corresponding local partner from the **Your partners** list. The partner details section is displayed.
4. Activate the **Users** tab. The partners’ members and their roles are displayed.
5. Click the role of the user you want to update. A drop-down menu is displayed with the following options:
   * **Guest User:** They can only view and receive access to accounts that a **Host Admin** shares with the local partner.
   * **Guest Admin:** They can invite and share items with other guest users to whom they were granted the account **Manager** role.
6. Select the new role. A success message box is displayed.

Now you are done.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-web-app/partners/local-partners/update-a-guest-member-s-role-in-a-local-partner.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
