# Manage a Job role

Once you’ve created a role, you can update it’s details, members, and competencies as your organisation’s job roles change, without starting again. Changes to group membership can take up to 24 hours to show in the role. You can also delete a role you no longer need.

### Add Skills to a Role

1. Open the role and click the **Competencies** tab.
2. Click **Add skill** and search for a skill from your skills taxonomy.
3. Select the **Expected level** the role requires.
4. Click **Add Skills**.

To remove a skill, click **[...]** next to it and select **Remove**.

### Add Members to a Role

1. Open the role and click the **Members** tab.
2. Click **Add group** and choose one of the following:
  - **Select group:** Add a group that already exists
  - **Create new group:** Set up a new group for this role
  - **Create from audience:** Create a group based on an existing audience
3. Click **Save**.

Group rules run in the background, so changes can take up to 24 hours to appear. The **Members** tab shows a message while this is in progress.

To change who is in a group, edit the group itself rather than the role.

### Edit or Delete a Role

1. Go to **Manage** > **Roles** and open the role.
2. To edit the name or description, change the details and click **Save**.
3. To delete the role, click **Delete role** and confirm.

### Build Roles With the Thrive MCP Server

You can also build your competency framework through the [Thrive MCP Server](https://docs.thrivelearning.com/docs/thrive-mcp-server). Ask your AI assistant to create roles, add skills with expected levels, and create groups. For more detailed informations, see [Create a Role with an AI Assistant](/v1/docs/create-a-role-with-an-ai-assistant).
