## Change a Role

As explained in the previous chapter, a user receives a role when they are assigned to a tenant.

You can adjust that role afterward.

**Why can't I adjust the role in the user settings?**

Users can have different roles in different tenants. Therefore, you set which role a user has in this tenant in the respective tenant settings.
