# Changing a user role
You can change a user's role, but not a user's name. That's because the name is linked to the user directory that is linked to by Amazon Monitron.
To change a project or site's users, you must remove the previous users and add the new ones. For information on removing users from a project or site, see [To remove a user using the mobile app](deleting-user.md). For information on adding new users, see [Adding a user](adding-user.md).
