  Hi, thanks for the info re “users”. I can change the status within “users” for the various categories listed. However, my query relates more to changing a “follower” category to one within “users”, how can i do this? I want to make the change so that the “follower” can be listed on the “team”. I hope this clarifies my query?
  Cheers

  Hi there,

  You cannot change the role of your followers. You’ll need to invite them by following these instructions:
