# Change a User's Role

## Customize Tenant Role

As explained in the previous chapter, you automatically give a user a role when you add them to a tenant.

You can adjust the role a user has in a tenant afterward.

**Why can't I adjust the tenant 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.
