# Edit designations
<a name="edit-designations"></a>

When you update a designation's permissions, the change takes effect immediately for all members assigned that designation across all projects. You don't need to reassign the designation to members.

You can start with broad permissions and restrict them over time, or add permissions as new capabilities become available in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. You cannot edit managed designations (Owner and Contributor).
