# Members and roles

> Invite people, choose what they can do, and control who sees each board.

Members are the people in a workspace. Each has a **role**, which sets what they can do, and belongs to the boards they've been added to.

Inviting members needs the [Team plan](https://docs.opscape.com/plans.md). Each member is a seat.

## Invite people

> [tab] Kan
>
> Open **Members** and click **Invite**. Enter their email. They join as a member, and get an email with a link to join, and sign up if they don't have an account yet.
>
> Or click **Create invite link** and share the link. Anyone with it can join as a member until you click **Deactivate invite link**.

> [tab] API
>
> ```bash theme={null}
> curl -X POST https://opscape.com/api/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE/members/invite \
>   -H "Authorization: Bearer $KAN_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
>   -d '{"email": "jane@acme.com"}'
> ```

> [tab] Agent
>
> "Invite [jane@acme.com](mailto:jane@acme.com) to the Acme workspace."

## Roles

| Role | Boards they see | What they can do |
| - | - | - |
| Admin | Every board in the workspace | Everything, including workspace settings, billing, members and permissions |
| Member | Boards they've been added to | Create boards, and create, edit and delete lists, cards and comments |
| Guest | Boards they've been added to | View boards, cards and comments, without changing anything |

Everyone can see [templates](https://docs.opscape.com/templates.md). People can only give or change roles up to their own, so a member can't make someone an admin.

To change someone's role, open **Members**, click the menu next to them and pick a new role.

## Custom permissions

If the default roles don't fit, admins can change them in **Settings → Permissions**. Each permission is a resource (workspace, boards, lists, cards, comments, members) and an action (view, create, edit, delete). Changes to a role apply to everyone with it.

To give one person more or less than their role, open **Members**, click the menu next to them and choose **Edit permissions**. Reset them to go back to their role's defaults.

## Board members

A board's members are the people who can see it. Workspace admins see every board without being added.

Open **Board options → Manage members** to add workspace members to a board or remove them. Each board member is a board **admin** or **member**; board admins can manage the board's members even if they aren't workspace admins.

Only a board's members and workspace admins can be assigned to its cards or mentioned on them.

## Remove a member

Open **Members**, click the menu next to them and choose **Remove**. They lose access to the workspace straight away, and on the Team plan their seat is removed from your next bill. Their cards, comments and activity stay.

## Paused members

If a workspace's paid plan ends, it moves to Free and every member except the owner is **paused**. Paused members can't open the workspace, and appear faded in member lists. They can't be newly assigned to cards or mentioned.

Subscribe again and everyone is unpaused.
