Tip #10: Change members' roles in a Team Folder

Hello everyone,

We hope you're finding our WorkDrive Tips and Tricks series useful.  

For today's tip, we'll teach you how to change members' roles in a Team Folder.



A Team Folder is a secure, shared space where you and your team members can work more efficiently on files and folders related to a specific department, project, or idea. You can assign roles (Admin/Organizer/Editor/Commenter/Viewer) to your team members, in order to manage your team more effectively.

Let's say one of your Team Folder members with the Editor role goes on vacation. You decide that a member with the Viewer role should cover for them. In WorkDrive, you can change your team members' roles at any time during a project, making it easy to delegate work and manage assignments.

Note: Only Admins and Organizers can change members' roles in a Team Folder.

Here's how to change a team member's role in WorkDrive:
  1. Navigate to the left pane and click your Team Folder to open it on the right side of your screen.
  2. Click the Manage button at the top of your screen and select MembersThe Members tab will open.



  3. Hover your mouse over the member's current role and click the drop-down arrow.
  4. Select the role you want to assign from the drop-down list. The five roles available in Team Folders are Admin, Organizer, Editor, Commenter, and Viewer.
