# Members and roles

> Reload workspace roles explained, plus how to use the invite modal, manage pending invites, and handle the seat-cap upgrade banner when you hit a plan limit.

The **Members** tab in Settings is where you manage who's in your workspace and what they can do. This page covers the role model + invite management in depth. For just sending an invite, see [Invite teammates](/getting-started/invite-teammates).

## Workspace roles

Reload has four workspace-level roles. Each role is a superset of the one below it.

| Role       | What it can do                                                                                                                             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Owner**  | Everything. Created automatically when the workspace was provisioned. There's always at least one.                                         |
| **Admin**  | Manage members, channels, teams, billing, workspace settings. Almost everything an owner can do — except transfer or delete the workspace. |
| **Member** | Day-to-day use. Create channels (subject to plan cap), join public channels, post messages, create tasks, capture memories.                |
| **Guest**  | Limited — designed for outside contributors. Sees only the channels they've been explicitly added to.                                      |

Role gates the Settings tabs you see — Members, Teams, Billing, and Usage are visible to admins and owners only.

## The Members tab

Two sub-tabs:

* **Members** — the roster. Display name, `@handle`, role chip per row. Search filters server-side as you type (200ms debounce). The list infinite-scrolls.
* **Pending invites** — open invitations that haven't been claimed yet.

## Inviting members

Click **Invite member** at the top right. The modal has:

* **Email** — where the invite goes.
* **Role** — Admin, Member, or Guest. You can't invite someone directly as Owner.
* **Teams** *(optional, multi-select)* — pick one or more teams to add this member to on accept. Their channel-role grants from those teams kick in immediately.

Click **Send invite**. Reload emails the recipient a link that takes them through sign-in (or sign-up) and into your workspace.

The full invite-side-of-the-flow lives in [Invite teammates](/getting-started/invite-teammates).

## Pending invites

The **Pending invites** sub-tab lists every open invitation. Per-row actions:

* **Copy link** — clipboard the invite link so you can share it manually.
* **Resend** — fire the invite email again (a quick confirm prevents accidental double-sends).
* **Revoke** — cancel the invite. The link stops working immediately.

## Seat-cap banner

If your plan's seat limit is full when you open the invite modal, you'll see an inline banner with your current usage and an **Upgrade plan** button — clicking it jumps to the Billing tab to pick a higher tier. See [Plans](/settings/plans) for the per-tier seat caps.

## Removing or changing roles

In-app member role changes and removals are coming in a follow-up. For now, contact [support@reload.chat](mailto:support@reload.chat) to remove a member or change their role.
