How to Assign a User Role

We have several different user roles available in Thinkific from Site Admins to Affiliates. Learn how to assign a new role to one of your users!

Overview

By default, all new accounts will be student accounts unless you assign a different role. You can assign a role to a user while creating a new user or after they already exist in Thinkific.  

User Roles and the number of User Roles you are able to assign are determined by your Thinkific subscription level. For a full overview of available User Roles, check out our Site Owner and User Roles article.
