# How to Manage Team Roles

After a team member joins your organization, you can update their platform role at any time from the Team tab.

### Before You Start

You must have the **Administrator** platform role to edit team member assignments.

### Steps

1. Navigate to **Org Admin** in the left sidebar.
2. Click the **Team** tab.
3. In the **Members** section, locate the team member you want to update.
4. Click the **Platform Role** dropdown on their member row and select the new role.
5. The change saves automatically. The member's status badge confirms their current access state — **Active** or **Suspended**.

### Role Hierarchy Overview

The **Role Hierarchy** panel at the top of the Team tab shows all six roles and how many members are assigned to each. Expand any role to see its members at a glance.

### Removing a Team Member

To remove a team member from your organization:

1. Open the **Members** tab.
2. Locate the member in the **User Access Control** section.
3. Use the action controls on their row to suspend or remove their access.

Removing a member suspends their membership immediately — they can no longer access your organization, but their Railnology account remains intact. No records are deleted. Their HoS history, compliance entries, and activity associated with your organization are fully preserved. If the member is later re-invited, their membership can be reactivated.

> **Note:** You cannot remove the last Administrator from an organization. Assign Administrator to another member before removing yourself.

> **Note:** Role changes take effect immediately. If a user is actively logged in when their role is changed, their access updates on their next page navigation.
