  1. Log in to your MemberUp account using your admin or owner email address.

  2. From the Community Home Page, click Members in the left-hand menu.

  3. Find the member whose role you want to update.

  4. On the right-hand side of their name, click the Settings Cog (⚙️) icon.

  5. In the panel that opens, click on the Membership tab on the left.

  6. Under the member’s email, you’ll see the Role section.

  7. Click the Role dropdown menu and select one of the following options:

    • Owner – Full access to manage all community settings and billing.

    • Admin – Can manage members, posts, and courses but not billing.
