What are Promotions and Demotions?
Promotions and demotions change a member’s rank and let everyone know about it. Use them instead of dragging members on the Roster when you want the change announced.Promotions need the Promote permission, and demotions need Demote. You can only move members ranked below you, into ranks below your own.
