# Invite and manage members

Invite and manage members [#invite-and-manage-members]

The **Members** page lists who is in the workspace, with their role, and the invites nobody has accepted yet.

By default only workspace **Admins** can invite, change roles and remove members. Open **Settings** > **Members** under **Workspace · "*name*"**.

Invite people [#invite-people]

1. Select **Invite users** at the top of the page. **Invite Users** at the top right of the home page opens the same dialog.

2. Enter an email address and choose a role for it.

3. To invite more people at once, select **Add users** for another row.

4. Select **Send invite**.

As you type, the email box suggests people from your organization and from workspaces you share with them.

| The address belongs to…                    | What happens                                                                               |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Someone who already has an Alomana account | They join the workspace at once and get an email saying so.                                |
| Anyone else                                | They get an email with an invitation link, and the invite waits under **Pending invites**. |

* An invitation link works for 7 days. **Expires** shows the date.
* The invitee opens the link, signs in or creates an account with that email address, and joins the workspace.
* Someone who signs up with the invited address without using the link still joins the workspace on their first sign-in.
* **Revoke** next to a pending invite cancels it; the link stops working.
* A member of an organization can join only that organization's workspaces. Inviting them to any other workspace is refused, and so is accepting an older invitation to one.

Change a member's role [#change-a-members-role]

Choose another role in the member's **Role** list. The change applies at once.

| Role       | By default                                                                        |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Member** | Works with agents, connections and flows; can read apps, API keys and magic links |
| **Editor** | Also publishes agents, edits apps and creates API keys and magic links            |
| **Admin**  | Everything, including workspace settings, members and roles                       |

In a workspace of an organization, the list also shows the organization's custom roles. What each role can do is set on the **Roles** page. See [Set roles and permissions](/docs/platform/admin/workspace/roles-and-permissions).

You can give someone a role only if you hold every permission that role has.

Remove a member [#remove-a-member]

1. Select the trash icon at the end of the member's row.
2. Select **Remove member**.

They lose access to the workspace at once. You cannot remove yourself.

Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

| Message                                                   | What to do                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enter a valid email address for each invite.**          | Fix or remove the row with the wrong address.                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **User is already a member of this space**                | That person is already in the workspace; change their role instead.                                                                                                                                              |
| **You can only assign a role whose permissions you hold** | Ask someone with more permissions, such as a workspace Admin, to assign the role.                                                                                                                                |
| **This person's organization keeps its members inside**   | The person's home organization does not let its members join workspaces outside it. Invite them to one of their organization's workspaces, or ask its admin to turn on **Members can join other organizations**. |

To invite and manage members with an API key, see [Members and invites](/docs/api/workspaces/members-and-invites) in the API documentation.
