# Change Affiliate Type

*Article Topics:* [*Affiliates*](/getting-started/common-topics/affiliates.md)

NATS allows you to change affiliate types to give some affiliates special permissions. This can be useful for changing an affiliate to an account rep to manage a group of affiliates or changing an affiliate to an admin with full administrative access in NATS to view and edit whatever they choose.

## Changing an Affiliate's Type

1. To change an affiliate's Type in NATS, go to the [Affiliates Admin](/nats-admin/affiliates.md), select the affiliate you want to affect, and click the "Permissions" tab.

2. Click the "Update" button next to the Account Type&#x20;

You will find seven options to choose from to change the affiliate account type. These fields are:

* Affiliate
* Account Rep
* Customer Service Rep
* Site Partner
* Sub Admin
* TMM Admin
* Admin

To view a detailed explanation of each account type, see the [Affiliate Account Types](/nats-admin/affiliates/affiliate-account-types.md) article.&#x20;

**Please Note:** Changing the Affiliate Account Type WILL reset any custom account permissions for this affiliate. In order for the change to take effect, the affiliate will need to log out and log back in.&#x20;
