# Manage Team Members

The **Manage Team Member** function in BigGeo Studio allows administrators to update team memberships, adjust permissions for specific areas, and remove team members when needed. This guide will take you through the steps for accessing and editing a team member’s settings.

## Access the My Team Section

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Navigate to the Sidebar**: In BigGeo Studio, go to the sidebar and select **My Team** under the Management section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Locate the Team Member**: In the team members list, find the member you want to manage.

{% endstepper %}

***

## Edit Team and Permissions

In the **Manage Member** screen, you can adjust the member’s team assignments and permissions for each area.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Team & Permissions Access**:

* **Select Teams**: In the **Team** section, choose the teams this member should belong to (e.g., Admin team, GIS team, Marketing team). This allows for group-based access and simplifies permission management.
* **Assigned Products**: The icons next to each team show the product spaces each team has access to (e.g., Datascape, Datalab, Velocity). Ensure the selected team aligns with the member’s responsibilities.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Permissions for Each Area**:

* Under **Permissions**, you’ll see a list of areas (e.g., Marketplace, Datascape, Datalab, Velocity, Team Management, and Settings).
* For each area, choose the appropriate role:
  * **Admin**: Grants complete control over the assigned area, including the ability to create and manage content, adjust settings, and modify access.
  * **Standard**: Allows view-only access within the assigned area, limiting the user to monitoring and reviewing without making changes.
    {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Adjust Area-Based Permissions**:

* Use the radio buttons in the **Permissions** section to assign **Standard** or **Admin** roles for each area based on the member’s responsibilities.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

***

## Save Changes or Remove Member

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Review Changes**: Confirm that the selected teams, products, and permissions are accurate for the member’s role.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save Changes**: Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the screen to apply the updates.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Remove Member** (if applicable):

* If you need to remove this member from your organization, click **Remove**. This action will revoke all access to BigGeo Studio and its product spaces for this user.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
