It's not possible to add/change roles of a team meber in Appwrite Frontend. When you click on a member of a team you get forwarded to the configuration page of the user and not the team member.

TL;DR
To change the role of a team member in Appwrite, you need to delete the team member from the team, add them back, and then you can assign the desired role. It's currently not possible to directly change the role without this process. It may be considered for future updates.

Hey, if you are using the API, you could still use this endpoint to update roles - https://appwrite.io/docs/client/teams?sdk=web-default#teamsUpdateMembershipRoles

Thank you, but only if i develop a separate Page, where i can edit it. But the Appwrite Frontend only allows to edit the team config for a user when you add them to a team. After that editing in the frontend isn't possible.

for comprehension: click on "Auth", then "Teams", select a team, then click on "Members" and then select a member of this team. You cannot change the role of this team member. You have to delete this team member from a team, add them again and then, only then you can choose the role within the team.

Yes, I agree. Let me check it internally with the team and see if this is something which is on the roadmap.
