# Change account types for copy-trading and MAM accounts

It's possible to change types of existing accounts on the investment platform between copy-trading and MAM, as well as between master and investment accounts.

When an account type is changed, the account is automatically reassigned to the corresponding product configured in **Products** > **Products**, based on the updated account type.

{% hint style="warning" %}

## Key points

* Types of PAMM accounts can't be changed.
* If a copy-trading or MAM account has active subscriptions and open positions, they will be retained after changing the account type.
  {% endhint %}

The table below outlines the possible account type transitions:

| Account Type            | Can be changed to                                                                            |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Copy-trading master     | <ul><li>Copy-trading investment</li><li>MAM master</li><li>MAM investment</li></ul>          |
| Copy-trading investment | <ul><li>Copy-trading master</li><li>MAM master</li><li>MAM investment</li></ul>              |
| MAM master              | <ul><li>MAM investment</li><li>Copy-trading master</li><li>Copy-trading investment</li></ul> |
| MAM investment          | <ul><li>MAM master</li><li>Copy-trading master</li><li>Copy-trading investment</li></ul>     |

Change an account type as follows:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **Investment Platform** and expand the required platform instance.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
For copy-trading accounts, go to **B2COPY**.\
For MAM accounts, go to **Mam**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select **Masters** or **Investors** to navigate either to the list of master or investment accounts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the account, and click **Edit**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Edit account** page, click the **Actions** button in the upper-right page corner, and then select the new account type.

The account type will be immediately updated and displayed in the **Account type** field.

The permissions associated with the updated account type will be displayed in the **Rights** field.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The account will be moved to the relevant menu, such as **B2COPY** or **Mam**, **Masters** or **Investors** based on the updated account type.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2copy.b2broker.com/admin-guide/manage-master-and-investment-accounts/change-account-types-for-copy-trading-and-mam-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
