Assigning Roles

Users in Kinship are assigned a role which gives them permission to view certain content and perform certain activities. Roles are initially assigned by administrators or security administrators.

For a detailed description of the roles available in Kinship please see User Roles.

When a user first joins your Kinship team, they will be a regular team member. 

As an administrator, you can assign new roles to them from the 'Manage team members' page.

To get to this page, click on your user icon in the top right of any page and select Manage team members from the dropdown menu.

To change a team member’s role:

• Click on the three-dots menu to the right of the person’s name on either the Team Members or Browse Members pages.
• Click on Change Role in the dropdown menu.
• In the dialog that appears, select the desired role and click Done.
• NOTE: The roles you see available in the dialog will depend on your current role. For example, if you are an Administrator, you will not be able to assign a team member to the Owner role.

To update the role for multiple team members at the same time:

1. From the Team Members page click the Select button at the top right.
2. Select the members whose role you would like to change.
3. Click Change Role in the menu at the top of the list.
4. Select the desired role in the dialog that appears.
5. Click Done when finished.
