# Switch a member's role inside a course

Need to promote a learner so they can moderate a course instead? Invited someone as a moderator when you really meant to give them teacher permissions?

Now you can use the role switcher to edit any learner or moderator's role after they've joined a particular course.

## Here's how...

1. Go to **"View Learners"** within the course.
2. Next to the learner's name, select the **"More actions"** icon that looks like a vertical ellipsis.
3. Select **"Configure registration."**
4. Now select the desired role and save. That's it!

Note: you can edit learners and moderators from the "View Learners" screen. Teachers cannot currently be demoted to moderator or learner. To change a teacher's permissions, remove them from the course and then reinvite them in the desired role.
