# Promoting/Demoting a player

Promoting/demoting players in your roster can be done easily via the roster page itself. Only Administrators and Managers can promote/demote players.

## Promoting a player :arrow\_up:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click on the player you'd like to promote

Hover over the player row you'd like to promote and left click. You'll then be shown a dialog to manage the player.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click on "Promote Player" to select the next rank

From this screen, you'll be able to use the dropdown to select the rank to promote your selected player to. FiveRoster will automatically determine promotable ranks for this player by looking at your roster structure. In this case, the only viable rank that this player can be promoted to is "Deputy Director" as all other ranks above are occupied.

**Dynamic callsign stretching**

FiveRoster will automatically stretch dynamic callsign ranges if you still want to promote a player to a rank that is fully occupied. An example of this would be say Sergeant, all 10 Sergeant ranks are occupied so the platform will extend the max range to 11, create the callsign X-11 and then promote the player to that rank.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click on the "Promote Player" button to promote them :tada:

After clicking on "Promote Player", the page will refresh and the player will have now been promoted to your chosen rank. If you have provided a roster announcement channel in Discord, FiveRoster will also post this promotion in that channel.
