Invite a colleague, and what a seat costs
Three ways to add somebody, three roles, and how seats are counted per organization.
Everything happens from Settings → Members.
Add somebody
Three ways, depending on what you know about the person.
| What you want to do | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Invite somebody whose address you know | By email. The invitation goes to the address you give |
| Pass the invitation on yourself | By personal link. The same invitation, but you get the link. Useful when the mail does not arrive, or when the person prefers another channel |
| Onboard three people in one morning | By organization link. A short-lived link, with its role, its validity, a number of uses and a revoke button |
The joining pages /join/<token> and /invitations/<id> open without an account:
the invitee sees who is inviting them before signing up.
Choose the role
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything, including changing the shape of the organization and deleting it |
| Administrator | Manage inboxes, members, workspaces and SSO |
| Member | Read the inboxes of the workspaces they belong to |
A member sees the organization form read-only, and the danger zone appears to owners only.
Count the seats
A seat is a member of the organization. The ceiling comes from your plan and is counted for the organization, not per workspace: adding somebody to a second workspace does not use a second seat.
When the ceiling is reached, the invitation is refused and the answer names the plan that would allow it. It is never accepted and then silently inert.
Remove somebody
Remove the member from Settings → Members. Their access is cut.
Allow up to five minutes before a session that is already open stops answering: the session cookie carries its own signed copy, and deleting a row in the database does not reach a cookie already sitting in a browser.
If the departure is sensitive, do not stop there: revoke the API keys the person was using, see API keys, and go through Account and security.
Known limits
- No workspace role beyond member and administrator.
- No banning. You remove an access; you do not stop an address from coming back on invitation.
