By default, manager users act as managers in cohorts, and student users act as students. If necessary, the same user can have different roles in different cohorts: For example, a user who's a student in Group A can simultaneously be a manager in Group B. The promote/demote feature allows this to happen.

Tell the user to follow these steps: 

1. In the Program Admin dashboard, find the user you'd like to edit (if they're a student by default, go to the Students tab; if they're a manager by default, go to the 

Instructors tab) and click on their name. 

2. On the next page, scroll down to the user's cohort assignments and find the cohort you'd like to change the user's role in. 

If the user is currently a manager in that cohort, click on the "Remove Instructor Role" button to make them a student only in this cohort. 

If the user is currently a student in that cohort, click on the "Add Instructor Role" button to make them a manager only in this cohort.
