## Multiple Roles on One Account

A single PastaHR account can hold any combination of roles. This is useful when team members have overlapping responsibilities:

* A **Recruiter + Content Manager** can both screen candidates and run social media campaigns from the same account.
* A **Recruiter + Interview Admin** can manage the entire hiring process, from the first application to interview scheduling, without switching accounts.
* The **Admin** role inherits all permissions. An Admin who also recruits doesn't need a separate Recruiter role. Adding it anyway makes the permission model more explicit and easier to follow.

## Assigning or Updating Roles

Only Admins can grant roles. Here's how:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Settings → Members" />

  <Step title="Open the actions menu">
    Find the team member whose roles you want to update and click the **three-dot menu (⋮)** to the right of their name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Adjust roles">
    Click **Adjust roles**. A panel opens listing all available roles.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle roles on or off">
    Enable or disable roles as needed. You can assign multiple roles in a single step.
  </Step>
</Steps>
