## **How to Invite Teammates**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only users with a business domain name can be invited to the workspace. If using multiple business domains, you can add them to the [allowed domains list](/readme/secoda-as-an-admin/customize-the-workspace.md#allowed-domains) in the Security settings.
{% endhint %}
## **Creating Groups and Teams**
Establish groups and teams to manage user roles and access effectively. Learn more about [User management](/user-management.md).
## Deactivating Members
To Deactivate a member from your workspace, click **Deactivate** beside their name.
The user's name will still appear on resources that they had previously owned, but will have a strike through their name. This can be helpful context to know who had the historical knowledge of a dataset.
