# How to edit a staff member's permissions

**Who can do this:** Super Admin, Admin, or Staff with the User Management permission

## Before you start
The person must already have the **Staff** role. If they don’t, change their role first. See [How to assign or change a user’s role](/product/users-roles-and-teams/how-to-assign-or-change-a-user-s-role/).

## Steps
**Step 1:** Go to **Users > Staff**.

**Step 2:** Find the person and click the **⋮** menu at the end of their row.

**Step 3:** Choose **Edit all permissions**.

**Step 4:** A panel opens on the right listing every permission, grouped by category. Tick the permissions you want to grant and untick any you want to remove.

**Step 5:** Scroll through all five categories. The panel is longer than the screen, so check below Users & Settings before saving.

**Step 6:** Click **Save Changes**.

The Permissions column updates to **Custom** or **Full access**.

**Tip:** If you’re setting up the same kind of person repeatedly, use one of the recipe articles rather than deciding sixteen checkboxes each time. See [How to create a course author role](/product/users-roles-and-teams/how-to-create-a-course-author-role/).
