# How do I change user permissions?

## Learn how to update user permissions by editing roles.

To change the role permissions of an existing user you must have the role 'Admin'.

As an **Admin** In the **Adoptech Portal** select **People** in the left hand menu.

Under the **People** heading, locate the person whose privileges you want to change and click on the row.

Scroll down to the **Role permissions** section.

Assign and remove privileges by toggling the roles on and off.

**Note:**

All roles are mutually exclusive. The permissions '**Signatory**' and '**TrustHub**' can be added in addition to an underlying role.
