Edit the user’s Assigned Roles, Assigned Groups, or Assigned Assets. For more information, see About User Roles.

Considerations for Assigned Roles, Groups, and Assets

If the user is a client administrator, they are assigned all groups associated with that client by default. It is not possible to remove any groups belonging to the client from the client administrator’s list of assigned groups.
If the user is a group administrator, they are assigned all assets associated with that group by default. It is not possible to remove any assets belonging to the group from the group administrator’s list of assigned assets.
If a user is made an asset’s Owner, from the asset’s Overview tab, the user becomes at least a Viewer for the asset. If the user is already an administrator, they become an Admin for the asset. If the Owner is changed, the previous Owner's permissions for the asset are not changed.
