Convert Host to Member and Vice Versa

Convert Host to Member and Vice Versa

Overview

In any community, roles and responsibilities can shift over time. Whether you're streamlining management or empowering a member to take on more duties, you can change a user’s role between Host and Member.
Check out this guide to understand Host and Member roles in the community.

Who can change roles?  

Only superhosts and hosts can convert a member to a host and vice-versa.

To convert a Host to a Member  ,

  1. Go to the People page from the right menu.



  2. In the Hosts tab, find the user you want to convert into a member.

  3. Hover over and click the three dots next to their name.



  4. Click Convert to Member from the dropdown.



  5. In the pop-up, click Convert.


 

What changes?

The user you converted as a member will lose their community management permissions and be moved to the Members list. They will still remain part of the community and can continue to participate as usual.
 
To convert a member to a host  :
  1. Go to the People page from the right menu.



  2. In the Members tab, find the user you want to convert into a host.

  3. Hover over and click the three dots next to their name.



  4. From the dropdown, click Convert to Host.



  5. In the pop-up, click Convert.


 

What changes?

The user you converted as host will gain additional permissions and appear under the Hosts list. They can now assist in managing content and community structure.

Best practices to consider

  • Only grant host privileges to those that you trust with content moderation and community setup.
  • Hosts get the highest level of control and can override any role changes.
  • There's no limit to the number of hosts, but too many can make community management confusing.
