# Invite your team

Invite people by email and choose what each can do.

Invite people to your organisation and give each a role.

> **Before you start:**
>
> - Only an **Owner** can see the **Team** page and invite people.
> - You can set one of three roles: **Owner**, **Editor** or **Viewer**. Pick the role in the table below.
> - Invites expire after 7 days.
> - Every plan includes unlimited seats. Invite only people who work for you or with you, such as staff, contractors or clients.

Every organisation needs at least one owner.

1. Open **Organisation** > **Team**.
2. In **Invite someone**, enter their **Email**.
3. Choose their **Role**. It starts as **Editor**.
4. Select **Invite**. You see "Invite sent."
5. The person gets an email. They open it and select **Accept invite**. The page says which role they're joining as.
6. To change a role later, use the **Role** menu on their row.
7. To remove someone, select **Remove**, then **Yes, remove**. Select **Keep** to back out.

Pending invites appear under **Pending invites**, with their expiry date. Select **Resend** to send the email again, or **Revoke** to cancel it.

To add another owner, set their **Role** to **Owner**. There's no separate transfer step. To hand over, make the other person an **Owner**, then change your own **Role**.
