# Managing members

> Invite, manage and remove workspace members.

Workspace members are managed from the members page in your workspace. Only Admins can invite, modify or remove members.

## Inviting members

To invite a new member:

1. Navigate to the members page in your workspace
2. Click **Invite Member**
3. Enter their email address
4. Select a role (Admin, Developer or Member)
5. Configure their [scope](/access-control/scoping) to restrict access to specific teams, projects or environments
6. Send the invite

The invited user receives an email with a link to join. They sign in with their Google or Microsoft account. If they don't have an Enkryptify account yet, one is created automatically.

## Invite statuses

| Status          | Description                                                      |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Invite sent     | The invitation email has been sent and is waiting to be accepted |
| Account created | The user has accepted the invite and joined the workspace        |
| Declined        | The user declined the invitation                                 |
| Expired         | The invitation link has expired                                  |

## Changing roles and scope

Admins can change any member's role and scope from the members page. Both changes take effect immediately, the member's permissions update on their next request.

* See [Roles and Permissions](/access-control/overview) for what each role can do.
* See [Scoped Access](/access-control/scoping) for details on how scoping works.

## Removing members

Admins can remove any member except the workspace owner. Removing a member:

* Revokes their access to the workspace immediately
* Removes all their personal overrides
* Does not affect shared secret values or audit log entries

<Note>
  The workspace owner cannot be removed. If you want to transfer ownership, contact support.
