One of the first things you'll be prompted to do when you open the Secoda app for the first time is invite people that you work with. Only workplace admins are able to invite new users.
To start inviting teammates, go to the Settings page by clicking the ⚙ button in the bottom left corner. From here, click Members.
On this screen, you'll be able to see the plan level that you and your team are on, and the number of seats this plan includes. You'll also see a Viewer invite link to send to teammates (who will be added as Viewers by default).
If you're adding multiple teammates at once, we recommend using the "Invite members" button so that you can add them in bulk.

In this same screen, you can view current members in your Secoda space, their emails, and the role that they have within Secoda.
You can edit teammate roles by clicking on the role button that is beside their name and info.
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.

Creating Groups and Teams will be important for user management. Read more about user management here:
From this screen, you're able to manage your invitations and invitation links. To do so, click on the Invitation Links tab, beside Members and Groups.
You'll be able to see every link that you've already created, what role that invitation link is for, and if applicable, which groups you've sent that link to.
You can create a new link by clicking Create link. After you've created a link, you can edit the role and group it's applicable to by clicking the role name (default is Viewer) and adding a group.
