# Group Member Roles 🥷

### What are the group member roles in Keet? 

In Keet, each group chat is an independent space with <mark style="color:$info;">peers</mark> and <mark style="color:$success;">admins</mark> and <mark style="color:violet;">moderators</mark> who define the rules.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The group creator is automatically assigned the role of Administrator 👑
{% endhint %}

<mark style="color:$success;">Admins</mark> and <mark style="color:violet;">Moderators</mark> can restrict a user’s access to their group, but this doesn’t affect the other users’ ability to start their own chats or join others.

### How to change the roles of group members?

You get assigned a particular role upon joining via the invitation link, but it can be changed later by the administrator.

To change role, as an admin or moderator, go to a '**Group Options**' / '**Members permissions**' to see the list of members:

#### Upgrade <mark style="color:$info;">Peer</mark> to <mark style="color:violet;">Moderator</mark>

* Select a Peer member from the list
* Choose 'Moderator'; review and if agreeable, acknowledge the moderator capabilities; click 'Make group moderator'

***

#### Downgrade <mark style="color:violet;">Moderator</mark> to <mark style="color:$info;">Peer</mark>

* Select a Moderator member from the list
* Choose 'Peer', and click 'Downgrade'. It will remove all the moderator’s capabilities from the member.
* Moderators can also downgrade themselves in the same way if they decide not to moderate the group anymore.

***

#### Downgrade <mark style="color:$success;">Admin</mark> to <mark style="color:$info;">Peer</mark> or <mark style="color:violet;">Moderator</mark>

* Select an Admin member from the list
* Ensure that there is more than one Admin in a group
* Choose 'Peer', and click 'Downgrade'. It will remove all the moderator’s capabilities from the member.
* Administrators can also downgrade themselves in the same way if they decide not to be an admin and not to moderate the group anymore.

***

#### Upgrade a member to an <mark style="color:$success;">Admin</mark>

Unlike Peers and Moderators, the Administrator role can only be assigned through a dedicated group admin invite.&#x20;

If a user is already a member of the group, they need to leave and rejoin using an admin invitation link.

* As an <mark style="color:$success;">Administrator</mark>, open the group where you want to add another Admin.
* Click the **‘Create Invite Link’** button in the top-right corner.
* Select **‘Admin’** as the invite type; review and if agreeable accept the Admin rules; then click **‘Generate new link’**.
* [Share the invite link with](/keet-groups/joining-groups.md) the user or let them scan the generated QR code to join or be upgraded to <mark style="color:$success;">Administartor</mark>.

Keep in mind that an Admin invite link is **single-use** and expires after the set duration⏳
