Edit a household member (Family)

Fix roles and payment handles after the invite.

In short

Household page → pencil on a member card. Edit their role (co-owner, member, viewer) or payment handles anytime. The Owner role can't be changed — ownership transfer isn't supported yet.

What you can edit

Role and payment handles (Venmo, PayPal.Me). Members can update their own handles; role and email changes are owner-only.

The roles

Co-owner has full access — edit any bill, settle up, invite others. Member handles day-to-day logging. Viewer is read-only, for the kid's laptop or the accountant.

Why Owner is locked

The owner role is assigned when the household is created and can't be edited — the server rejects the change outright. Transferring ownership isn't supported yet; if you need it, contact support.
