Members & invitations
Invite people to an organization, change roles, remove members, and what happens to their API keys.
Members are the people in an organization. Admins manage the list on the Members page in the console. Personal spaces have no members.
Invite people#
- Open Members and click Invite members.
- Enter one or more email addresses and choose a role: Admin or Member. See Roles & permissions.
- Send. Each person gets an email with a link.
An invitation appears in the list with status Pending until it is accepted. Pending invitations count toward the organization's member limit.
What the invited person sees#
The link opens a page that shows who invited them and which organization they are joining. They must sign in with the same email address the invitation was sent to. If they are signed in with a different address, the page says so and does not accept the invitation. This stops a forwarded link from adding the wrong account.
After they accept, they land in the organization's default workspace. They can also decline.
Expiry, resend, and revoke#
- An invitation expires after a set period (7 days by default). An expired link cannot be used, and it says so.
- Resend sends a fresh link and replaces the old one. You can resend one invitation about once a minute.
- Revoke cancels a pending invitation.
- Email addresses are matched exactly.
ana+work@example.comandana@example.comare different addresses.
If an email does not arrive, resend it. The link is only in the email, so there is nothing to copy from the console.
Change a role#
On the Members page, open the menu on a member's row and choose a new role. Every organization must keep at least one admin, so the last admin cannot be demoted or removed.
Remove a member#
An admin can remove a member from the row menu. They lose access to the organization immediately.
Leave an organization#
You can leave an organization from your own row on the Members page, or from Organizations in Account settings (open it from your avatar menu). If you are the only admin, you cannot leave. Make someone else an admin first.
What happens to a member's API keys#
Every API key has an owner. When its owner leaves or is removed from the organization:
- Their keys stop working at once and are turned off. In the key list they show Owner removed.
- If the person is invited back, the keys stay off and show Disabled. They cannot be turned back on: an admin deletes them and creates new ones.
Keys are tied to their owner, not to the person who created them. An admin who creates a key for a teammate makes the teammate its owner. See API keys.
Budgets for a member#
An admin can set a spend limit on a member. It counts everything spent with keys that person owns, across all workspaces in the organization. See Budgets.
