Manage members

Understand how to navigate member management within a teamspace, roles, adding, removing, and transferring work between members.

Roles in a Teamspace

Teamspaces have three core roles: admins, members, and guests, each with distinct permissions and capabilities.

Admins

Teamspace and organization administrators can manage members within a teamspace. Their abilities include:

1. Adding or removing members.
2. Customizing members' access permissions.

Members

Members are part of the organization. Members can create teamspaces, Studios and more. Use guest invitations for external collaboration.

Invite members

To invite a member, click "Invite" at the top right

Should the invitee lack a Lightning AI account, they'll be prompted to create one. If the members encounter verification issues, please reach out on our Discord (link here).

Remove members

Navigate to teamspace settings > Member, click the 3-dot menu next to the member's name, and choose to remove them. A disabled access icon appears for members with restricted platform access. Removed members leave their data and Studios intact.

Note: Future updates will enable transferring resource ownership to a new owner.

Guests

Guests are not part of the organization. They are only part of the teamspace they were invited to.

Invite guests

To invite a member, click "Invite" at the top right. Only teamspace admins can invite guests. Admins can enable or disable this capability by going to Org setting > Settings > Teamspace.

Remove guests

To remove guests, go to teamspace settings > Member. Next, click the 3 dots menu on the left of the row and then remove them from the teamspace. If a member's access to the platform is disabled, you will see a disabled access icon. After a member is removed, their data and Studios will remain.

As another option, you can delete a Guest at the Organization level, where they will be listed as a Guest of the organization.

Transfer work

When a member is removed from a teamspace there are two options. Option 1 is to become a guest to continue collaborating from outside the org. Option 2 is transfer their work to someone else. A teamspace admin must initiate the transfer.

If the new owner wasn't initially part of the teamspace, they'll be added.

If the removed user was an admin, the new owner becomes the admin.
