How do I assign user permissions?

Account administrators can change or assign user permissions for anyone in the account. Group administrators can do the same, but only for the groups for which they're an admin. How you assign user permissions depends on your role.

Which are you?

• Account admin
• Group admin

1. Log in to your Bitly account.
2. Click Settings in the left sidebar.
   
3. Under Account settings, click Users. This shows you all of the users on the account. If they're an account admin, you'll see that here.
   
4. Click the 3 dots to edit permissions for a user and select Edit.
