# Manage Your Team and Permissions

> Invite teammates, assign roles, and control access in Mintlify. Understand Owner, Admin, Editor, and Viewer permissions to keep your workspace secure.

Mintlify workspaces are built for teams. Add coworkers, assign roles that match their responsibilities, and remove access when someone moves on. All changes take effect immediately.

## Add a team member

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Team settings">
    Click your workspace name in the top-left, then choose **Team** from the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send an invite">
    Click **Invite member**, enter their email address, and pick a role from the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Press **Send invite**. The recipient receives an email with a link to join the workspace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Invited users appear in the member list with a "Pending" badge until they accept.

## Remove a team member

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Team settings">
    Navigate to the same **Team** page in your workspace menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove the member">
    Find the person in the list, open the actions menu on the right, and choose **Remove from workspace**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm the removal. Their access is revoked immediately and they are removed from all projects in this workspace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Removing a member does not transfer ownership of any docs or projects they created. Reassign ownership before removal if you need to preserve administrative control.
</Warning>

## Roles and permissions

| Role       | Capabilities                                                                                                                          |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Full control. Can delete the workspace, manage billing, transfer ownership, and configure all settings. Only one Owner per workspace. |
| **Admin**  | Can invite and remove members, manage roles, and configure integrations. Cannot delete the workspace or transfer ownership.           |
| **Editor** | Can create, edit, and publish documentation. Can manage projects they have access to. Cannot change workspace settings or billing.    |
| **Viewer** | Read-only access. Can view published docs and leave comments. Cannot edit content or access workspace settings.                       |

<Tip>
  Start new teammates as **Viewer** if they only need to review docs. Upgrade them to **Editor** once they are ready to contribute content.
</Tip>

## Transfer ownership

If you are the current Owner, you can transfer ownership to another Admin in the workspace.

1. Go to **Team** settings.
2. Find the new Owner in the member list and open their role dropdown.
3. Select **Make Owner**.
4. Confirm the transfer in the dialog.

<Warning>
  Transferring ownership is immediate and irreversible. You will become an Admin and lose the ability to manage billing or delete the workspace unless the new Owner transfers ownership back to you.
</Warning>
