A team member is a person with access to your organization. You add people by inviting them, and each one has a role that decides what they can do.

## Inviting someone

You invite a teammate by email. They get an invitation, accept it, and join your organization with the role you gave them. Until they accept, the invitation is pending.

## Changing someone's role

A member's role can be changed at any time. Move someone to a role with more access when they take on more, or less when they need less. The change takes effect right away.

## Removing someone

When a person should no longer have access, you remove them from the organization. They lose access at once. Their past actions stay in the record; removing someone does not erase what they did.

## The owner

Every organization has an owner. The owner is the top of the organization and cannot be locked out of it. Other members have whatever role you give them.

## Edge cases

- **An invitation is pending until it is accepted.** The person does not have access until they accept.
- **Roles can change any time.** Access follows the current role, so a change applies immediately.
- **Removing a member keeps their history.** The audit record of what they did remains.
