# Invite your team

<TLDR>
Open **Settings, Members**, select **Invite**, type an email and select **Send invite**. When they accept, give them data in **Data access** and add them to projects under **People**.
</TLDR>

## What you will build [#what-you-will-build]

A <Term id="workspace">workspace</Term> where each teammate reaches the right <Term id="project">projects</Term> and data. You will invite people, follow the invitations, give data access and add people to a project.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

- The Owner or Admin <Term id="roles">role</Term> in the workspace.
- Each teammate's work email.

<Callout type="info" title="Each person takes a seat">
Your plan includes a number of seats; the Members page shows how many are in use. On the free trial, start Pro to invite people.
</Callout>

## Steps [#steps]

<Steps>
<Step>
### Open Members [#open-members]
Go to <AppLink to="settings.members" />. It lists everyone, their role and status, and seats in use.

</Step>
<Step>
### Send the invitation [#send-the-invitation]
Select **Invite**, type the teammate's email and select **Send invite**. They join once they accept the email. The page shows which role they join with.
</Step>
<Step>
### Follow the invitation [#follow-the-invitation]
The person shows as **Invited**, then **Active**. Filter to see only invited people. **Resend** sends the email again; **Revoke** cancels, and you can invite them later.
</Step>
<Step>
### Give access to data [#give-access-to-data]
Owners and admins always reach everything. For a member, open **Settings, Data access** and select **Give access**. Choose what (a <Term id="schema">schema</Term>, a table, a folder or a connection), the person, and the level, from **Know it exists** to **Give this access to others**, with an optional end date. **Take back** removes access.
</Step>
<Step>
### Add them to a project [#add-them-to-a-project]
In the project's settings, open **People**, add the teammate and pick their project role:

- **Admin**: can open the Studio, change settings and manage people.
- **Use**: can open the Studio.

The project's owner can do everything, including delete it.
</Step>
</Steps>

## Check that it worked [#check-that-it-worked]

- The teammate shows as **Active** on <AppLink to="settings.members" />.
- They see the project in their own **Projects** list and can open its Studio.
- They can query the tables you gave them in the SQL editor, and nothing else.

## Common variations [#common-variations]

- **Need more seats.** When every included seat is taken, add seats from <AppLink to="settings.usage" />. Each extra person is a monthly add-on, charged now and at every renewal until they leave.
- **Keep a list.** Select **Export CSV** to download the member list.
- **Someone leaves.** Select **Remove**. You can invite them again later.
- **Work in the same Studio.** Several people can share one <Term id="studio">Studio</Term>, each with their own AI. See [Working together](/docs/ai-harness/working-together).

<Callout type="warn" title="Removing someone is immediate">
A removed person loses access to the workspace at once.
</Callout>

## If something goes wrong [#if-something-goes-wrong]

<Accordions>
<Accordion title="Every seat your plan allows is taken">
Add seats, or remove someone who no longer needs access. If you have reached the most seats your plan allows, contact us.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="The invitation email did not arrive">
Ask them to check spam, then select **Resend**. If the address is misspelled, revoke and invite again.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="A teammate cannot see a table">
Members only reach what they have been given. Give access in **Data access** at **Read its data** or higher.
</Accordion>
</Accordions>
