# Change roles for an administrator

An **8x8 Contact CenterSecondary administrator** can assume a single role at a given time. However, that role can be changed by the **Primary administrator** in the **8x8 Configuration Manager** at any time. Assigning a new role to an administrator removes them from the previous role.

**To change roles for an administrator:**

1. From the **Configuration Menu**, open **Security**.
2. Go to the **Roles** tab.
3. From the roles list, select a role.
4. Click **Edit**, or double-click to open the role details.
5. Go to the **Assignment** tab.
6. From the administrators list, find an administrator and assign to the role. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/vccpromo_cfgmgrrolesassignment.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A12%3A30Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A12%3A30Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ogKiEVTqtK3x7gxB%2BFw%2FJRn1SKAIitLkZGMhFtYG9kw%3D)
