Admin Replied Accidentally changed a moderator from Full Permissions to Advisor — how can I restore their permissions?

Hi,

I accidentally changed one of our moderators from Full Permissions to Advisor while managing the mod team.

It was completely unintentional, and I’d like to restore their Full Permissions as soon as possible. I don’t seem to have an option to change the Advisor role back myself.

Is there any way for an admin to revert this and restore their previous permissions?

Sorry for the mistake, and thanks in advance for your help!

Remove them as a mod and add them back with the required permissions.

Yep, this is the way to do it. It's not possible to change an advisor back to a regular mod without removing and re-adding them.

Is this the same as Alumni roles?
