Upgrade or Downgrade User Accounts

Organization participants are initially registered either as Members. Collaborators or Guests.

Collaborators and Guests (external users) have access restrictions that cannot be lifted — the External User role cannot be modified, and these users can't be assigned additional roles.

If you want to provide less restricted organization-wide access to a pearson initially registered as an External User, you can convert their account to Member. Conversion works both ways — you can downgrade Members to Collaborators or Guests, upgrade Guests to Collaborators or Members and vice versa.

To convert a user account:

  1. Open the person's profile (press Control+K to find it).

  2. On the profile sidebar, choose Profile Settings.

  3. Scroll down the page.

  4. Choose the account type you want to convert the user to and press Convert:

  5. Confirm you choice and click Save.

    The account will be converted and associated permissions adjusted accordingly.
