# Managing members

Control who has access to your workspace and manage their permissions. Only workspace owners can manage members.

## Member roles

Anara workspaces support two types of members:

### Owners

* Can invite and remove members
* Can change workspace settings
* Can delete the workspace
* Have access to team folders in the workspace

### Members

* Can access team folders in the workspace
* Can invite new members
* Cannot change workspace settings
* Cannot delete the workspace

<Info>
  Free users can only add other users as owners. The member role is available only on paid plans.

## Adding members

There are two ways to add members to your workspace:

### Method 1: Direct invitation

1. Go to **Settings** → **Members**
2. Click **Add members**
3. Enter email addresses (separated by commas for multiple invites)
4. Select the role (Owner or Member)
5. Click **Send invite**

Invited users will receive an email with instructions to join your workspace. For paid workspaces, you'll be billed for each member added.

### Method 2: Share invite link

1. Go to **Settings** → **Members**
2. Click **Copy link**
3. Share this link with people you want to invite
4. They can use the link to request access to your workspace

<Info>
  Only people with permissions to invite members can see and use the invite link feature.

## Removing members

To remove a member from your workspace:

1. Go to **Settings** → **Members**
2. Find the member in the list
3. Click the three-dot menu next to their name
4. Select **Remove from workspace**

When you remove a member:

* They immediately lose access to the workspace and all team folders
* They lose access to any shared folders they were invited to
* Their private folders and content are removed
* Their seat becomes available for reassignment

## Changing member roles

To change a member's role:

1. Go to **Settings** → **Members**
2. Click on the member's current role
3. Select the new role from the dropdown

## Billing and seats

For paid workspaces:

* You're billed per seat
* Adding members increases your monthly cost
* Empty seats remain available until you explicitly remove them in settings
