# Granting & revoking permission for an existing team member to manage a linked company

## Introduction

If you are a multi-company profile user with permission to manage another linked company (i.e. your own user account is associated with a [manager or administrator role](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary) and you have been granted permission to manage the company in question), you can grant and revoke permission for other team members to manage the same company.

## The steps

**Step 1**\
Log into the Patchworks dashboard using your own Patchworks credentials and ensure that you are [switched into your own company profile](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/switching-in-and-out-of-a-linked-company).
