People join a company, and then they are added to Shared Spaces. Everyone at the company is a member of the Company Space. A Shared Space has only the people added to it.

## Roles

A person's role decides what they can change, not what they can see. See [Who can see what](/access).

### In the company

| Role       | What it means                                    |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Owner**  | Manages people, roles and every company setting. |
| **Admin**  | Adds people and changes agent setup.             |
| **Member** | Works in the company and its Spaces.             |

### In a Shared Space

| Role       | What it means                       |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Can archive and delete the Space.   |
| **Admin**  | Can add people and change settings. |
| **Member** | Works in the Space.                 |

## Invite people to the company

1. Open **Settings → Company → General**.
2. In **Members**, choose **Add people**.
3. Search for a person by name, or type their full email address.
4. Under **Add as**, choose **Admin** or **Member**.
5. Choose the button at the bottom, which reads **Invite 1 person**, or the number you picked.

People you have invited show as **Invited** in the member list until they sign in. A person already in the company, or already invited, shows **Already in or invited**.

## Who can join on their own

The header of **Settings → Company → General** shows a **Who can join** choice, which owners and admins can change:

- **Anyone at <your company> can join**: people with the company's email domain, or who sign in with its Microsoft 365, join on their own. The choice shows your company's name or domain.
- **Only people you add**: everyone else needs an invite from an admin.

## Add people to a Shared Space

1. Open the Space's page from **Spaces**.
2. In **Members**, choose **Add people**.
3. Search by name or email.
4. Under **Add as**, choose the role.
5. Choose **Add 1 person**, or the number you picked.

## Change a role or remove someone

In the member list, choose the role next to a person to open the **Role** menu. Pick **Owner**, **Admin** or **Member**, and confirm the change. To take someone out, choose **Remove from Space** and confirm. In the company, the same menu removes a person from the company.

When someone leaves or is removed, their access ends right away, including Automations they own in that Space.

## Leave a Space

In a Shared Space, open the Space's page and choose **Leave Space**. You lose access to its Threads and Files right away, and your Automations there stop. An owner can add you back.
