How to Change Someone's Role in TikTok Business Center
Promote or restrict a teammate by changing their Business Center role. Here is how to change a role, what it affects, and what to double-check after.
Changing someone’s Business Center role moves them between Admin, Operator, and Member, which changes what they can do across the whole Business Center. It is separate from the access they have on individual assets — promoting someone to Admin does not change which accounts are assigned to them, and demoting someone does not un-assign their assets. So after a role change, it is worth checking their asset access still makes sense.
If your situation is actually …
- You want to remove their access entirely → Remove someone from Business Center →
- You are deciding who should hold which role → Who should get which TikTok role →
Before you start
You are an Admin
Only an Admin can change other people’s Business Center roles.
You know what the new role changes
Admin can manage people and billing; Operator manages assigned assets; Member works within assignments.
Change a person’s role
Open the person in Users
Go to the Users area and select the person whose role you want to change.
Where: business-center.tiktok.com → Users
Change their Business Center role
Choose the new role — Admin, Operator, or Member — and save.
Where: business-center.tiktok.com → Users → edit role
Confirm: Their listed role updates to the new one.
Re-check their asset access
Confirm the assets assigned to them still fit the new role, and adjust if a demotion should also narrow their assets.
What each role changes
| Role | Where it lives | Can do | Cannot do |

Role and asset assignment are separate controls. Changing one does not change the other.

Access issues are easier to prevent when roles, owners, and responsibilities are recorded clearly
Most access problems trace back to the same gap — no clear record of who has access, what role they hold, and what should happen when that changes. Delvia helps you keep that record so problems are visible before they become incidents.
