2. Click on a member
3. Select their role(s)

Members can have multiple roles. Permissions are additive—they get all capabilities from all their roles.

Role vs. Team Position

Roles control app permissions. For player positions (Quarterback, Pitcher, etc.), use the roster management features separately.
