Change roles and remove members
Owners and Admins change a member's role or remove them from the organization. You can act only on members whose role is below yours.

You can change or remove only members whose role is below yours. So only the Owner grants, changes or removes the Admin role, Admins manage Approvers, Editors and Viewers, and nobody changes their own role.
Change a role
- Open the organization's Members page.
- Next to the member, select the button to change their role.
- Choose the new role, select Save role and confirm it's you with a passkey.
The new role applies on the member's next action, and they are emailed. Granting the Admin role, or demoting an Admin, needs a passkey you have had for at least 24 hours. See Why am I asked for a passkey?.
Remove a member
- On the Members page, select the button to remove the member.
- Select Remove and confirm it's you.
The person loses access to the organization on their next action, and their pending invitations are revoked. Their LightInventory account and their other organizations are not affected. Their entries in the history stay, because the history belongs to the organization.
Owners and Admins can also sign a member out of all their sessions, so every device they are signed in on has to sign in again.
