# Managing Members

> Invite teammates and clients, assign roles, and remove members

## Overview

Organizations let you share connections and monitoring with your team and your clients. Each person you add is a **member** with a role that controls what they can do. This page covers inviting, re-roling and removing members; for what each role can do, see [Permissions](/organizations/permissions).

<Note>
  Team-member limits are plan-based: Free allows 1, Pro and Scale allow up to 5. See [Subscription Plans](/billing/subscription-plans).
</Note>

## Inviting a Member

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the organization">
    Go to **Organizations** and select the one you want to add someone to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite by email">
    Enter the person's email address and pick a role.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They accept">
    The invitee receives an invitation and joins once they accept and sign in.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Roles

When inviting, choose the role that matches how the person will work in the organization:

| Role              | For                                                                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `owner`           | The organization creator — full control, including billing and deletion   |
| `admin`           | Trusted operators who manage connections and members                      |
| `member`          | Team members who work day-to-day with connections and analytics           |
| `external_member` | Collaborators outside your core team with scoped access                   |
| `viewer`          | Read-only stakeholders and clients who should only see status and reports |

See [Permissions](/organizations/permissions) for the exact capabilities of each.

## Changing a Member's Role

Open the member in the organization's member list and update their role. Changes apply immediately. Only owners and admins can change roles, and an owner is required to remain on every organization.

## Removing a Member

Removing a member revokes their access to that organization's connections and data right away. It does not delete anything they created — connections and history remain with the organization.

<Warning>
  Removing someone does **not** revoke API keys they generated. If a departing teammate created API keys, rotate or revoke those separately — see [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication).
</Warning>

## Members vs. API Keys

People are members; machines use API keys. An **organization-scoped API key** is the right way to give an integration access to exactly one organization without adding a human member. See [Organizations in the API](/api-reference/organizations).
