# Change workspace members accountId

Change one member's seat: owner, admin, team_lead or member. ADMIN ONLY, and an owner seat is an owner's to give — anyone lesser trying is a 403. 409 when the change would leave the workspace with no owner at all. Taking the seat away entirely is the DELETE on the same address.

Access class: `workspace:admin`.
