# Team members

Lettermint teams allow you to collaborate with colleagues on email projects. Each team member has a role that determines what they can access and modify.

## Understanding roles

Lettermint has two roles with distinct permission levels:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Owner" icon="crown">
    Full administrative access including billing, team settings, and member management. Every team must have at least one owner.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Member" icon="user">
    Access to core features like sending emails, managing projects, domains, and routes. Cannot access billing or team settings.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

:::info
Only **Owners** can manage team members, access billing, or modify team settings.

## Invite team members

To invite someone to your team:

1. Go to **Manage team** → **Members**
2. Click **Add person** in the top right
3. Enter their email address and select a role
4. Click **Send invitation**

<Frame>
    <img
        className="block"
        src="/docs/images/manage-team-menu.png"
        alt="Button showing Manage Team in navigation."
    />
</Frame>

The invitee will receive an email with a link to join your team. If they don't have a Lettermint account, they'll be prompted to create one first.

:::note
On the free **Developer** plan, you cannot add team members. Upgrade to any paid plan for unlimited team members.

## Pending invitations

You can view and manage pending invitations from the **Members** tab. Pending invitations show the invitee's email, assigned role, and when the invitation was sent.

To revoke a pending invitation:
1. Find the invitation in the pending list
2. Click the 3-dot menu
3. Select **Revoke invitation**

Revoked invitations can no longer be accepted. You can send a new invitation to the same email address if needed.

## Change team member roles

To change a team member's role:

1. Go to **Manage team** → **Members**
2. Find the member and click the 3-dot menu
3. Select **Change role**
4. Choose the new role

Role changes take effect immediately.

:::warning
You cannot change your own role if you're the only owner. Transfer ownership to another member first, or invite a new owner.
:::

## Remove team members

To remove a team member:

1. Go to **Manage team** → **Members**
2. Find the member and click the 3-dot menu
3. Select **Remove**
4. Confirm the removal

Removed members immediately lose access to the team and all its resources.

:::warning
You cannot remove yourself if you're the only owner. Transfer ownership to another member first.
