# Invite team members and understand roles > Invite people to a Nodespell Team, accept or decline invitations, remove members or leave a Team, and see exactly what owners and members can do. Source: https://docs.nodespell.com/teams/members-and-roles/ ยท Last updated: 2026-11-10 A Nodespell Team has two roles: one owner and any number of members up to the plan's limit. The owner invites and removes people, manages billing and can delete the Team. Members work on the Team's shared Projects. Invitations go to an email address, last seven days, and must be accepted by someone signed in with that verified email. ## What can owners and members do? | Action | Owner | Member | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | | Open and edit **Shared projects** | Yes | Yes | | Create shared Projects and private drafts | Yes | Yes | | See another person's drafts | No | No | | Switch own Team Project between **Share With Team** and **Move To My Drafts** | Yes, for Projects they created | Yes, for Projects they created | | Archive or delete a shared Project | Yes | Yes | | Transfer one of their personal Projects into the Team | Yes | Yes | | See the member list | Yes | Yes | | Invite, resend or cancel invitations | Yes | No | | Remove a member | Yes | No (members can leave) | | See Team credit use by day and member, download CSV | Yes | No (members see their own use) | | Turn **Pool alerts** on or off | Yes | No | | Top up the Team's shared pool and manage the Team plan | Yes | No (members can ask the owner) | | Edit the Team name and appearance | Yes | No | | Delete the Team | Yes | No | | Leave the Team | No | Yes | Roles cannot be changed in the app. To make someone else the owner, use **Hand over this team** in **Team settings** and contact support, because billing moves with ownership. ## Invite someone to your Team You must be the Team owner, and the Team's plan must include team members. 1. Open **Account Settings** > **Teams**, or choose **Members** under **Team actions** in the Team workspace. 2. Select the Team in **Select a team**. 3. On the **Members** tab, under **Invite a team member**, enter the person's email address. 4. Select **Send invitation**. The person does not need an account yet; they can create one after receiving the invitation. Invitations are listed with **Pending** or **Expired** after the email address, and the capacity line shows how many of the Team's places are used, counting pending invitations. | Message | What it means | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | **This person is already a team member.** | They have already joined. | | **An invitation has already been sent to this address.** | A pending invitation exists. Use **Resend** instead. | | **Team member limit reached.** | All places are used by members and pending invitations. | | **Upgrade to enable team members.** | The Team's plan does not include members. | ## Resend or cancel an invitation Invitations expire after seven days. Select **Resend** on a pending or expired invitation to send it again; this gives it another seven days. You must wait one minute after sending before you can resend. Cancel an invitation from the same list to free its place. ## Accept or decline an invitation When you are invited, Nodespell shows **You've been invited to a team** with a **Review** button, and the invitation is listed under **Invitations** in **Account Settings** > **Teams**. 1. Sign in with the email address the invitation was sent to, and make sure it is verified. 2. Choose **Review invitation**. 3. Read who invited you and how credits work in that Team. 4. Select **Join team**, or **Decline**. If you see **This invitation is unavailable for your account**, sign in with the invited address and verify it. An expired invitation must be resent by the Team owner. ## Remove a member As the owner, open the **Members** tab and remove the person, then confirm. They lose access through the Team; the Team's Projects and Assets stay. On Studio, their place becomes free, and your bill and monthly credits do not change unless you change your plan. ## Leave a Team As a member, open the Team in **Account Settings** > **Teams**, select **Leave team**, type `leave` to confirm, then select **Leave Team**. You need a new invitation from the owner to rejoin. The owner cannot leave their own Team. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the owner count as a team member? Yes. The member limit counts everyone who has joined, including the owner, plus pending invitations. ### Can a member invite other people? No. Only the Team owner can send, resend or cancel invitations. ### Can members see each other's drafts? No. Drafts in **My drafts** are visible only to the person who created them, including to the Team owner. ### What happens to my work when I am removed from a Team? You lose access to the Team's Projects and Assets. The Team's Projects and Assets stay with the Team. ### How long does an invitation last? Seven days. The owner can resend it, which gives it another seven days. ## Related - [Teams overview](https://docs.nodespell.com/teams/): create a Team and switch workspaces. - [Team projects](https://docs.nodespell.com/teams/team-projects/): shared Projects, drafts and editing. - [Team credits and usage](https://docs.nodespell.com/teams/credits-and-usage/): who pays for runs. - [Sign-in and security](https://docs.nodespell.com/account/sign-in-and-security/): verifying your email. - [Plans and credits](https://docs.nodespell.com/account/plans-and-credits/): member limits by plan.
