# Manage your team

Everything to do with team members happens on the **Team** page, in the left sidebar of the landing page below **Workspaces**. From there you invite people, set and change their role, resend or cancel a pending invite, and remove someone from the account. The page is visible only to people with the _Manage Team_ permission – in practice, the account **Owner**.

## Invite a team member

1.  Open **Team** and click **Invite Team Member**.
2.  Enter the person's **Name** and **Email**.
3.  Pick a role – Admin, Creator or Editor.
4.  Click **Invite**.

The invitation arrives by email with a join link. Until they accept, they appear in an **Invites** table below the members list, with an **Actions** menu offering **Send Again** (for when the email is lost) and **Cancel Invite**. Once they accept and confirm their email address they move into **Team Members** and you can start [assigning them workspaces](/docs/team-support/assign-workspace).

**An invite link expires after 7 days.** After that, cancel the stale invite and send a fresh one. The invitation email asks the recipient to be quick and mentions one day; the expiry Dewstack enforces is seven, so an invite opened on day three still works.

The role can be changed later; the email cannot.

## The four roles

| Role | What it is for |
| --- | --- |
| Owner | The account holder. Has every permission, including the team and the subscription. There is one Owner. |
| Admin | Manages the entire account except the team and the subscription – those stay with the Owner. |
| Creator | Creates, edits and publishes workspaces. |
| Editor | Edits workspaces. Cannot create or publish. |

### What each role can do

| Permission | Owner | Admin | Creator | Editor |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Create Workspace | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |  |
| Edit Workspace | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Publish Workspace | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |  |
| Customize Workspace | ✓ | ✓ |  |  |
| Hosting Workspace | ✓ | ✓ |  |  |
| Analyse Workspace | ✓ | ✓ |  |  |
| Integrate Workspace | ✓ | ✓ |  |  |
| Manage SmartDocs | ✓ | ✓ |  |  |
| Manage Team | ✓ |  |  |  |
| Manage Subscription | ✓ |  |  |  |

These permissions map directly onto the sidebar. A Creator or Editor has no _Customize_, _Hosting_, _Analyse Workspace_, _Integrate_ or _Manage SmartDocs_ permission, so **Customize**, **Hosting**, **Analytics**, **Integrations** and **SmartDocs** are not merely locked for them – the entries are removed from the sidebar entirely.

## Change someone's role

On the **Team Members** table, open the **Actions** menu on their row and choose **Change Role**. The new role applies immediately, including to any workspaces already assigned to them. You cannot change your own role, so the Actions menu does not appear on your own row.

## Remove a member

**Actions → Remove Member** on their row, then confirm – the dialog asks _"Are you sure you want to remove '' from your team?"_ and the confirm button reads **Yes, Remove Team Member**.

Removing someone revokes their access to every workspace at once. Their pages, edits and history stay in the workspace; only the person's access is withdrawn. You cannot remove yourself from your own team.

## Seats and per-user billing

The member count beside the **Invite Team Member** button shows where you stand against your plan, as **Team Members: 3 / 5**. On plans with a hard limit, the invite button is disabled once you reach it, with the tooltip _"Team member limit reached"_; upgrade to invite more people.

On plans that bill per user, inviting is never blocked. You allocate seats on the subscription page, the count reads **Team Members: 3 / 5 allocated**, and Dewstack shows the cost of going past your allocation as _"Additional users: $X/month each"_. If you have seats nobody is using, the page prompts you to reduce your allocation so you stop paying for them.
