# Assign roles to members

Once you've created your role, you can assign it to members. You can do this in 2 different ways: 

* From the audience table in the Spot parameters 

Select the members in the table whose role you wish to modify. Then click on `Actions` in the top right-hand corner of the table, then on `Update roles`. 

A list of all the roles available on the Spot opens (including `Member` and `Admin` roles). All that remains is to select the role you wish to assign. 

* From the member's profile (by clicking on the member's name in the audience table or members page) 

Click on the `Edit` button to the right of the role. A list of all the roles available on the Spot opens (including `Member` and `Admin` roles). All that remains is to select the role you wish to assign. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**: 

* By default, when a user joins the Spot, he/she has the **`Member`** role. 
* Each user **can only have one role** for a given Spot. 
* Roles are **visible to all members.** 
* Only Admins can update other members' roles. 
  {% endhint %}

### Notifications 

When an admin changes a member's role to give him/her more permissions, the member concerned is informed via : 

* **An in-app notification.** 
* **An e-mail notification** containing the various permissions associated with the new role.
