# User Roles and Permissions

## Two roles, and how to change one.

### The two roles

|  | Administrator | User |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Requests, comparison, awarding | yes | yes |
| Create and delete users | yes | no |
| Change client management | yes | read only |

Users can open and view the administration areas but cannot change anything there.

### Changing a role

**Roles cannot be switched directly.** To turn a user into an administrator:

1. Open **User management**.
2. Delete the existing account.
3. Invite the person again with the same email address and select the role you want. → Adding users

Requests and awards already created are retained.
