# Team and roles

> Invite people to your Slate workspace, choose their role, and manage pending invites and members.

The **Team** section lists everyone with access to a workspace. Admins use it to invite people, change roles, and remove members.

## Why It Matters

A role decides which parts of Slate a person can open and change. Give each person the role that matches their work.

## Where to Find It

1. Click the **Settings** icon (sliders) on the sidebar rail.
2. Choose **Workspace settings**.
3. Click **Team** in the left menu.

The **Members** card shows each person's **Role** and **Status** (**Active** or **Invited**). Use the **All** and **Invited** tabs to filter the list. A **Search name or email** box appears once the workspace has more than 8 members.

## Roles

Slate has five workspace roles. The invite form shows these descriptions:

* **Admin** — "Full access to all features and settings"
* **Member** — "Can manage content and users with some restrictions"
* **Writer** — "Can create and edit content"
* **Editor** — "Can review and publish content"
* **Designer** — "Can manage design assets and templates"

Writer, Editor, and Designer have the same access.

### What each role can do

| Area | Admin | Member | Writer, Editor, Designer |
| - | - | - | - |
| Home and Tasks | Full access | Full access | Full access |
| Insights → Overview | Full access | Full access | View only |
| AI Visibility and Keywords | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Pages | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Opportunities | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Workflows and Sheets | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Cowork, Recipes, Memory, and Skills | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Knowledge Base and Artifacts | Full access | Full access | No access |
| Brand Kit | Full access | View only | No access |
| Workspace settings | Full access | View only | No access |
| Team | Full access | View only | No access |
| API tokens | Full access | No access | No access |
| Organization settings | Full access | View only | No access |
| Billing | Full access | View only | No access |

Some organization actions also depend on the person's organization role. See [Organization settings](/docs/settings/organization-settings).

## Invite Members

Only Admins see the **Invite members** button.

1. On the **Team** page, click **Invite members**.
2. Under **Email addresses**, type an address and press **Enter** or a comma. You can also paste a list. Each send takes up to 10 addresses.
3. Under **Role**, pick a role. The default is **Member**.
4. Click **Send invite** (or **Send 3 invites**, and so on).

Slate emails each person an invite. The results list shows "Invited as" and the role for each address that worked. If any address failed, the reason appears next to it. Click **Edit and resend** to fix and retry those addresses, or **Done** to close.

Invites expire after 10 days.

## Accept an Invite

The person you invite does these steps:

1. Open the link in the invite email. Slate shows a **Join** page for the workspace.
2. Choose the button that matches your situation:
   * Signed in with the invited email: click **Accept Invitation**.
   * Have a Slate account but not signed in: click **Sign in to accept**.
   * New to Slate: click **Create account and accept**.
3. Slate opens the workspace.

If you're signed in with a different email, Slate asks you to log out and sign in with the invited address. Click **Logout** to switch accounts.

## Manage Pending Invites

Pending invites show the **Invited** status. Click the **Invited** tab to see only those.

1. Click the **⋮** menu on the invite's row.
2. Choose an action:
   * **Resend invite** — emails the invite again. The original link keeps working, and the 10-day expiry restarts.
   * **Cancel invite** — the invite link stops working. Click **Cancel invite** again to confirm.

You can also change a pending invite's role. Click the role in the **Role** column and pick a new one.

## Change a Member's Role

1. On the **Team** page, click the member's role in the **Role** column.
2. Pick the new role.

When you change an Admin to another role, Slate asks you to confirm. Click **Change role**. You can't change your own role.

## Remove a Member

1. Click the **⋮** menu on the member's row.
2. Click **Remove from workspace**.
3. Click **Remove member** to confirm.

The person loses access to the workspace right away. You can invite them again later.

## Troubleshooting

* **I don't see Invite members, role menus, or the ⋮ menu.** Only Admins can manage the team. Members see the list as read-only.
* **"User is already a member of this workspace."** The person already has access. Change their role instead.
* **"An invitation has already been sent to this email for this workspace."** Use **Resend invite** on the pending invite.
* **"Invalid or expired invite link."** The invite has expired. Ask an Admin to resend it, or to send a new one.
* **I want to leave a workspace.** Admins and Members can leave from **General** → **Danger zone**. Writers, Editors, and Designers can't open settings, so they ask an Admin to remove them.

## What's Next

* [Workspace settings](/docs/settings/workspace-settings) — rename the workspace or leave it
* [Organization settings](/docs/settings/organization-settings) — invite people to several workspaces at once
* [Tasks](/docs/work/tasks) — assign work to teammates
* [Cowork](/docs/agents/cowork/overview) — work with the Slate agent
