# Managing members of a registration authority

{% hint style="info" %}
Registration authority members can only be added, or have their roles changed by a Registration Authority Manager, a Stewardship Organisation Administrator or a Registry Administrator.

Users can be added to registration authorities in order to view the registration authority's information, review and endorse metadata submitted to that registration authority, or manage the registration authority's settings and other details.

### How to add users to a registration authority
