title: Invite people to a project
description: Give people access to a project through Share, choose a role for each of them, and decide what the rest of the organization can see.
---

To give someone access to a project, invite them through **Share** and choose a role: **Viewer**, **Editor** or **Admin**. There is no separate member list; the Share invitations are the list. Access covers the whole project, so an invited person can reach every channel in it.

A project's general access is one of two settings:

- **Everyone in the organization** (shown as **Team-visible** when you create a project). Everyone in the organization can open and read the project, but reading is all they can do. People who should work in it need an invitation as editors.
- **Only people invited** (**Private** when you create a project). Only the people you invite can open it, plus your organization's owners and admins.

## Invite someone

Only the project's owner and admins can invite people. If you are an editor or a viewer, the panel shows who has access but no invite field.

1. **Open the project's sharing settings**

    Press **Share** at the top right of the project's home page, or on the project's card in Browse Projects. In project settings, the **General access** block under **Details** has a **Share** button that opens the same panel.

2. **Enter an email address or a group**

    Type in the field that reads _Email address or group_. Matching people and groups from your organization appear as you type. Pick a group and everyone in it gets the same role.

3. **Choose the role**

    Choose **Viewer**, **Editor** or **Admin** from the picker beside the field. The roles are described below.

4. **Choose whether to notify, then invite**

    Tick **Notify people** to let them know they've been invited, or clear it to add them without telling them. Then press **Invite**. The button stays disabled until the field has something in it.

Everyone with access is listed under **People with access** in the same panel, with the owner first. An owner or admin can change anyone's role there, or remove them.

## Roles

| Role | Can do |
| --- | --- |
| **Viewer** | Open the project and read its channels, conversations and Library. |
| **Editor** | Everything a viewer can, plus change the project's content: channels, instructions, settings such as its name and its agent's name. |
| **Admin** | Everything an editor can, plus manage access: invite people, change roles, remove people, and change the project's general access and its web address. |

The **Owner** is whoever created the project. The owner is listed first in the panel and has every admin right.

## Organization owners and admins

Your organization's owners and admins are admins on every shared project in it, private projects included, without being invited. They are never admins on anyone's [Tendo](/tendo). Tendo belongs to one member and nobody else can manage it.

## Leave a project

Open Browse Projects, open the **⋯** menu on the project's card and choose **Leave project**, then confirm. Leaving removes your own invitation. If you can still reach the project another way, because it is visible to everyone in the organization or a group you are in was invited, you can still open it.

The owner can't leave their own project.

## Troubleshooting

### A teammate can see the project but can't edit anything

The project is visible to everyone in the organization, and that lets people read it but not change it. Invite the teammate through Share with the **Editor** role.

### I can't find a member list to add someone to

A project has no member list to edit. Access comes from Share invitations, so invite the person through **Share**.

### There is no invite field in the Share panel

Only the owner and admins can invite people or change access. Ask one of them to invite the person, or to give you the **Admin** role.

### I can't change who can see the project, or its web address

Changing general access or the web address needs the **Admin** role. Editors can change the other fields under **Details**.

### I can't leave the project

You own it. The product says: _You own this Project, so you cannot leave it. Archive or delete it instead._ Both are in project settings under **Advanced**, then **Danger**. See [Creating a project](/projects/creating-a-project) for what each one does.
