### Determining your role

To find out what your role is, follow the instructions below:

1. From My Workspace, click `Worksite Setup`.
2. You will see a list of the sites to which you belong.
   - If there is a checkbox next to the name of the site, you may check the box and click `Revise`. On this screen you will see a list of the site's members. Next to the members' names, you will see a drop-down menu that shows the role.
   - If there is not a checkbox next to the name of the site, your role is limited to merely accessing and participating in the site; you do not have full permissions. While you are still a member of that site, you cannot change your role or that of others.
