This guide is part of the [Drizzle](/drizzle) stack docs.

The members list shows everyone who belongs to your organization, along with their role and status. From here, you can manage existing members by updating their roles or removing them from the organization.

## Members List

The members tab displays all current organization members in a table format. Each row shows the member's name, email, role, and the date they joined.

Members are listed in order of their role hierarchy, with owners appearing first. This makes it easy to identify who has administrative access at a glance.

## Updating Member Roles

To change a member's role, click the menu icon next to their entry and select a new role. Role changes take effect immediately — the member's permissions update as soon as you confirm the change.

Only users with sufficient permissions can update roles. Additionally, you cannot change your own role or elevate someone to a role higher than your own.

## Removing Members

When you need to remove someone from the organization, select "Remove member" from their row menu. A confirmation dialog appears to prevent accidental removals.

Once removed, the member immediately loses access to all organization data and resources. They will need a new invitation to rejoin.

**Note:** The primary owner cannot be removed. To remove the primary owner, ownership must first be transferred to another member.
