Changing user permissions in your organization

You may need to change user permissions from time to time in your organization. Some examples include giving a team member access to a channel you’ve recently connected, removing a user’s access to specific channels, or adding Admin access for a user.

This guide will help you edit all of your user permissions, but if you're starting from scratch, visit our article: Adding users and setting up permissions in your organization.

:::warning This feature is on our Team plan.

Note: Team member settings are only available on the web version of Buffer at this time. It is not possible to update Team settings in the Buffer mobile app. :::

Editing a user’s channel permissions

Please follow these steps to edit your user’s channel permissions.

1. Click on your profile avatar at the bottom left of your dashboard and then click Settings.

2. Choose Team from the menu.

3. Find the user you'd like to work with and click the pencil icon next to their name. (If you have more than 10 team members, you'll see a search box to search for the specific member).

   

4. On the screen that appears, you can add or change permissions for a specific channel using the drop down. If you'd like to grant them the same permissions for all channels (e.g. assigning permissions in bulk), use Set All.
