# Change roles of existing users

Whatfix enables you to assign user roles based on the different responsibilities of a user. For example, a user who only translates content is assigned the Translator role.

          Note

          

Only an Account Manager can perform the following task. For more information about available user roles, see [Whatfix User Roles](https://support.whatfix.com/desktop/docs/whatfixuserroles).

Use the following steps to change the role of a user:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Settings**. ![ia_left_nav_settings](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_settings.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T09%3A09%3A41Z&se=2026-11-12T10%3A09%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ABeQ7MUrSApcijM58mtQrJkZmpncK09lyU7f23nrfiw%3D)
