# Members

Membership in GrowthFactor is workspace-scoped: every user is added to one or more [workspaces](/getting-started/workspaces.md) with a role per workspace, plus an organization-level role that controls platform-wide capabilities.

***

## Where Members Are Managed

All member management — inviting users, changing roles, removing access — happens in the [Members tab](/getting-started/workspace-settings.md#members-tab) inside Workspace Settings. Open the workspace switcher and click **Settings**, then switch the workspace tree on the left to whichever workspace you want to manage.

For quick invites to the workspace you're currently viewing, you can also use **Add member** at the bottom of the workspace switcher dropdown without opening the full settings dialog.

Both flows are admin-only.

***

## Inviting New Users

1. Click **+ Add member** (in the Members tab or via the workspace switcher's **Add member** shortcut)
2. Search for an existing organization member by name or email, or type a new email to invite someone outside the organization
3. Pick the **role** they should have on the active workspace (Viewer, Member, or Admin)
4. Click **Add to workspace**

New invitees receive an email with instructions to set up their account and join your organization. Existing members are added directly to the workspace.

***

## Organization Roles

Every member has an organization role that controls platform-wide capabilities, separate from their per-workspace role.

| Role       | Capabilities                                                                       |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Member** | Full access to Site Analysis, Deal Dashboard, My Stores, and all analysis features |
| **Admin**  | Everything Members can do, plus access to Workspace Settings and Admin Settings    |

***

## Workspace Roles

Each member can be assigned a role per [workspace](/getting-started/workspaces.md). Workspace roles control what a member can do within a specific workspace and its descendants.

| Workspace Role | Capabilities                                                          |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Viewer**     | View data in the workspace and its descendants                        |
| **Member**     | View and edit resources in the workspace and its descendants          |
| **Admin**      | Full access including creating sub-workspaces and managing membership |

Permissions flow downward — an Admin on a parent workspace automatically has Admin access on every child. See [Access vs. Membership](/getting-started/workspaces.md#access-vs-membership) for the distinction between having access to a workspace's data and being a direct member.

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding a workspace role makes the member a **direct member** of that workspace, which means it appears in their workspace switcher. A user can have access to a child workspace's data through a parent role without being a direct member — they'll see resources from that workspace, but to switch into it they need to **Join** from the switcher (admins only) or be added by another admin.
{% endhint %}

***

## Editing Roles

In the Members tab, click a row to open the member's profile, then update their role on any workspace they belong to. To change a member's role on the workspace you currently have selected in the tree, use the **Role** dropdown directly on the row.

***

## Removing a Member

To remove a member from a single workspace, open their profile and remove that workspace from their list of permissions.

To deactivate a member from your organization entirely, use the three-dot menu on the member's row in the Members tab and select **Delete**. Deactivated members lose access to all workspaces but their historical activity (comments, deal updates) is preserved. Re-inviting a deactivated member requires reaching out to <support@growthfactor.ai>.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Workspaces require a minimum of two admins. If you try to remove someone who is the last admin of a workspace, the action is blocked — promote another member to Admin first.
{% endhint %}
