Admin Guide: How to Update a User's Role

All Upswing users have roles assigned to their accounts that determine the views and functions that user is able to access within their account. A few examples of roles include student, tutor, administrator, and more. If a user has the incorrect role assigned to their account, you can easily change the role on their account as an administrator. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to correctly update a user's role within your admin dashboard.

How to Update a User's Role within the Admin Dashboard

Access the 'User Administration' Tab in the Admin Dashboard.
After logging into the Admin Dashboard, click on 'User Administration' from the left-hand menu. Once here, make sure you have 'Users' selected in the drop-down menu below 'Select Admin Functions View:'.
Search For the User.
In the 'User List' table, search for the user to locate their account.
Edit the User's Role.
Click on the yellow pencil icon next to user's role to change the role on their account.
Select the Correct Role.
A pop-up window should open, prompting you to provide the user's new role. In the drop-down menu next to 'New Role', select the role you'd like this user to have.
Click 'Change Role'.
Once you've selected the correct role for the user, click on the green 'Change Role' button to assign the role to the user.
Success!
You should now see the correct role associated with the user! The user can now log into Upswing with the role you've assigned to them.
