# Members

> Invite teammates, manage workspace roles, track pending invitations and suspended members, and understand how seats affect workspace access.

Manage who belongs to your workspace.

Owners and admins can invite and remove members. Open **Workspace settings → Members**.

## Members

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Members">
    Click **Members** in the organization nav. Above the invite box, **N of M seats used** shows how many seats are
    taken, with pending invitations beside it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite by email">
    Click **Invite member**, enter one or more email addresses, and pick a role. Each person gets an invitation email
    opening their **Account → Organizations** page. Accepting moves them into your workspace straight away; in the
    desktop app, if Arro is mid-task, it asks first, as with any switch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track pending invitations">
    Resend or revoke any invitation that has gone stale. An invitation expires **14 days** after it is sent, and
    resending starts a fresh 14 days.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change a member's role">
    Open the **...** menu on their row and pick a new role under **Change role**. It takes effect immediately. Owners
    cannot be demoted here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a usage limit">
    Open the **...** menu and click **Set usage limit…** to cap a share of the workspace's monthly usage, or leave it at
    **No limit**. See [Member usage](/account/usage#member-usage).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove a member">
    Open the **...** menu and click **Remove from workspace**, then confirm. They lose access right away, and usage they
    already spent this cycle stays spent.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Seats limit joining, not inviting.** You can always send an invitation on any plan, and it shows
as pending. What a full workspace blocks is the other person **accepting** it, so you can line
people up before you buy their seats. If members plus pending invitations exceed your seats, a
warning above the invite box links straight to **Customize**.

Free holds **3 people**, the owner included, so you can invite two teammates without paying. A
fourth needs Plus, where every seat is one more person. See
[Plan limits](/account/plan-limits).

### Departing members

See [Unassigned resources](/account/unassigned-resources) for what happens to their files.

### Suspended members

Recoverable closed accounts keep their memberships and reserve seats until [permanent cleanup begins](/account/delete-account#recovery).

Remaining seats go to the active owner first, then the longest-standing active members. Active members who do not fit are suspended.

| What happened                                | Who keeps access                                              | When                  |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| A payment failed and Stripe is retrying      | Everyone                                                      | The plan stays active |
| The subscription ended, dropping to Free     | Reserved memberships, then owner and longest-standing members | Immediately           |
| You bought fewer seats than you have members | Reserved memberships, then owner and longest-standing members | Next renewal          |

Reducing the seats on a subscription you already have waits for your next renewal, so nobody is cut
off during a period you have already paid for. A cancellation, or a first purchase that buys fewer
seats than the workspace has members, takes effect immediately.

Their membership, role, everything they made, and everything shared with them are all kept, and
nothing they own is moved by the suspension itself. Add seats or resubscribe and they come back
automatically at the role they held, longest-standing first, until the seats you bought are full.

A suspended person is not locked out of Audimate, only out of that workspace. Next time they open
the app it switches them to another workspace they belong to and tells them the old one is no longer
available. If it was their only workspace, they can create one.

Admins and owners get a **Suspended** filter beside All, Active, and Pending, reading 0 rather than
disappearing when nobody is. It shows the **Suspended members** section listing each person, the
role they held, and when they were suspended, in the order they would be brought back. Click
**Remove** on a row and confirm to drop that membership for good, so a later resubscribe will not
bring them back.

### Transfer ownership

Only the current owner can transfer a workspace. See [Transfer ownership](/account/members#transfer-ownership).
