# What is the legacy User role in team settings?

The User role is a legacy role with Admin-level permissions, kept for backward compatibility. New team members should use the current roles instead.

Answer [#answer]

The **User** role is a legacy role that exists for backward compatibility with accounts created before Superwall introduced the current role system. It has the same permissions as the **Admin** role.

Because the name "User" can be misleading, we recommend reassigning any team members with this role to one of the current roles:

* **Owner** -- Full control over the team and organization
* **Admin** -- Full access with limited team management
* **Editor** -- Can create and modify paywalls, campaigns, notifications, and assets
* **Reader** -- View-only access
* **Analyst** -- Analytics-focused read-only access

> **Warning**

The User role grants Admin-level permissions, not restricted permissions. If you have team members assigned the User role, review their access and reassign them to the appropriate role.



How to change a team member's role [#how-to-change-a-team-members-role]

1. Go to **Settings** in the Superwall dashboard
2. Select the **Team** section
3. Find the team member whose role you want to change
4. Update their role to Owner, Admin, Editor, Reader, or Analyst

Only **Owners** and **Admins** can change team member roles.

To restrict a member to specific projects, use [Access Controls](/docs/dashboard/dashboard-settings/overview-settings-access-controls).
