How do I change a family member's role on my archive?

A family member may have one of three roles on your FamilyArc archive: family historian, contributing member, and non-contributing member. Learn more here.

If you decide you want to change one of your family member's account role (e.g. make someone a contributing member or take away his/her family historian privileges), you can do that through your Family Account Settings. 

(Please note that you must be a family historian to edit a family member’s account role.) 

1. Go to your Family Account Settings. This option can be found by clicking the drop-down arrow beside your name in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
   
   
   
   
2. Find the person whose role you wish to edit by scrolling through the alphabetical list of family members. Click the pencil-shaped edit button to the right of that person’s name and select “Edit [that family member’s name].” 
   
   
   
   
3. Click the “edit” button on the Account Roles section.  
   
   
   
   
4. Check the “family historian” or “contributing member” box, depending on which role you want this person to have. If you leave both boxes unchecked, this person will be a non-contributing member. (You will need to enter an email address also if you want this person to receive an invitation to become a contributing member or family historian on your account.) 
   
   
   
   
5. Save.
