# Invite and manage team members

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Invite a team member"
}
[/block]

After having created your first `Role`, head over to the [Team management tab](https://dashboard.defastra.com/teams) and click on the **`INVITE SOMEONE`** button:

{
  "images": [
    {
      "image": [
        "https://files.readme.io/7f4c941-Invite_a_team_member.png",
        "Invite a team member.png",
        1176,
        809,
        "#000000"
      ],
      "caption": "Invite a team member"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

You will be prompted to enter the email to send the invite to, as well as the name of the team member and most importantly, which `Role` to assign.

The invited member will receive an email with a link that will redirect him to the Accept invite page:

  "images": [
    {
      "image": [
        "https://files.readme.io/d82abad-Accept_invite.png",
        "Accept invite.png",
        1218,
        966,
        "#000000"
      ],
      "caption": "Accept invite page"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

From there, the team member simply has to set up his password and he or she will be granted access to your team!

[block:callout]
{
  "type": "info",
  "title": "Note",
  "body": "Always remember that **team members are linked to your billing** and that any spending made by them will be deducted from your wallet.\n\nIn order to avoid disruptions of service, **be careful to have enough funds available** to accommodate their spending."
}
[/block]

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Edit a team member"
}
[/block]

To change the name or the `Role` of a team member, press the **`EDIT`** action button.

You will then be prompted with the edit page:

        "https://files.readme.io/8f6dfd0-d0669253f29ff9eed649890f8158eb54_1.png",
        "d0669253f29ff9eed649890f8158eb54 (1).png",
        935,
        605,
        "#000000"
      ],
      "caption": "Edit a team member"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Deactivate a team member"
}
[/block]

You can temporarily suspend a team member's access to Defastra.

When deactivated, the team member will lose his access to the dashboard, and will no longer be allowed to perform any action, checks or lookup.

To do so, simply click on the **`DEACTIVATE`** action button.

      ],
      "border": true,
      "caption": "Team management actions button"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Remove a team member"
}
[/block]

[block:callout]
{
  "type": "danger",
  "title": "Important",
  "body": "Removing a team member is permanent and cannot be undone. If you want to suspend the access temporarily, see the [deactivate option](https://docs.defastra.com/docs/invite-a-team-member#deactivate-a-team-member).\n\nRemoving a team member will also erase all of their data from the [Observer](https://dashboard.defastra.com/observer)."
}
[/block]

To remove a team member **permanently**, simply click on the **`REMOVE`** action button and confirm.

They will lose full access to their account, and their data will no longer be retrievable.
