Overview
This topic explains how to change the built-in and custom roles assigned to members in LaunchDarkly.
Change individual member roles
To change an individual member's roles:
- Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.
- Click Members. The Members list appears.
- Click the name of the member whose roles you want to change. An "Edit member roles" dialog appears.
- Select the built-in role to assign to this member. Alternatively, select Custom. From the menu, choose all the custom roles to assign to the member.

- Click Save role.
You can also use the REST API: Modify an account member
Change multiple members' roles
Changing multiple members' roles is an Admin-only feature
This feature is only accessible if you're a LaunchDarkly Owner or Admin, or have a custom role that allows the updateCustomRole
action. To learn more, read About member roles and Member actions.
To change multiple members' roles:
- Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.
- Click Members. The Members list appears.
- Select the checkbox to the left of a member's name to choose that member. Select all members whose roles you wish to edit. Alternatively, if you wish to select all the members, click the checkbox next to the Name column in the table.
- Next to the Export CSV button, another button appears that says Edit N members, where N is the number of members that you selected:

- Click the Edit N members button and select the "Edit member roles" option. A dialog appears.

- Select one of the built-in roles or any existing custom role and click Replace role. LaunchDarkly attempts to replace any of the roles on the members that you selected to the new role(s). Roles that have been assigned at the team level do not change.
When you select all members, the number of members may not match the number of members that appears at the top of the Members tab. This happens because you cannot perform bulk edit actions on yourself or the owner of the account.
