Change a role or team

For engineering managers, administrators 4 min read

Move someone to a new role or team. ELOS works out the access difference: what to add, what's now obsolete, and what stays.

A role change isn't a new hire. The person keeps their identity, knowledge and history. ELOS changes only the access that differs between the old role and the new one.

Preview and apply a move

1. Open the person's page from Onboarding or Members and choose Change role.
2. In Change role / team, enter the New role and, if it changes, the New team.
3. Choose Preview the move. ELOS shows the access to Grant, the access to Revoke as obsolete, and the access to Keep, each with the approver it routes to.
4. Check the plan, then choose Apply move.

What happens

• New access is requested for the person and routed to its approvers. Nothing is granted without approval.
• Access the new role doesn't need is revoked, so people don't collect access as they move.
• The move is recorded in the audit log with its counts, for example +4 added, -0 revoked, 2 kept.
