# Invite Team Members

> Add collaborators to your Hiveku account

Hiveku is built for teams. Invite designers, developers, and stakeholders to collaborate on projects inside your organization.

## Option 1: Invite from Settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Team Members">
    Click **Settings** in the sidebar, then choose **Team Members**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Invite">
    Click the **Invite** button in the top right of the Team Members page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter email and role">
    Type the teammate's email address and pick a role from the dropdown. See the role table below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invitation">
    Click **Send Invite**. They'll receive an email with a link to join your org.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Option 2: Ask the AI

From any AI chat, just tell it who to invite.

```
Invite jane@acme.com as an admin
```

```
Add these three people as members: a@acme.com, b@acme.com, c@acme.com
```

The AI confirms the email and role, then sends the invites.

## Roles Explained

Hiveku has three roles. Pick the smallest role that gets the job done.

| Role       | Edit projects | Manage team & settings | Billing | Notes                 |
| ---------- | ------------- | ---------------------- | ------- | --------------------- |
| **Member** | Yes           | No                     | No      | Best for contributors |
| **Admin**  | Yes           | Yes                    | No      | Best for team leads   |
| **Owner**  | Yes           | Yes                    | Yes     | Full access           |

<Info>
  You can't invite someone directly as an **Owner**. Invite them as Admin first, then promote them to Owner from their row in the Team Members list.
</Info>

## Pending Invitations

Until someone accepts, their invite sits in the **Pending Invitations** section. For each pending invite you can:

* **Copy link** — grab the invite URL to DM or share manually
* **Resend** — trigger a fresh email
* **Cancel** — revoke the invite

<Warning>
  Invitations expire after a set period (typically 7 days). Expired links no longer work — resend to generate a new one.
</Warning>

## Removing a Member

To remove someone, open their row in Team Members and click **Remove**.

<Warning>
  Removal is permanent and can't be undone. The person will lose access to all projects in the org immediately. If you need them back, you'll have to re-invite them from scratch.
</Warning>

## Verifying the Invite Worked

After sending, the invite shows up in **Pending Invitations** right away. Once the teammate accepts, they move into the main Team Members list with their role.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="They didn't get the email">
    Ask them to check spam. If it's not there, click **Resend** from the Pending Invitations section. If still nothing, double-check the email address — typos are common — then cancel the invite and send a new one.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Invite link says 'expired'">
    Invitations expire after about a week. Open Team Members, find the pending invite, and click **Resend** to generate a fresh link.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="They accepted but can't see a project">
    Members see all projects in the org by default. If they're missing specific access, make sure they accepted the right org (not a personal workspace) and refresh their dashboard.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I need to change someone's role">
    Open their row in Team Members and pick a new role from the dropdown. Role changes take effect immediately.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
