Members & roles

Settings → Workspace → Members. Visible to the workspace owner and admins; members see the roster read-only.

A workspace’s members are the users who can see it and log work in it. Each member has one of three roles.

The Members table listing each member’s name, email, and role, with the add-member
form above it.

Role Can do
Owner Everything an admin can. Set when the workspace is created; cannot be removed, and the last admin cannot be demoted.
Admin Manage the workspace’s settings, projects, and members.
Member Read the workspace and log work. No administrative access.

A workspace always keeps at least one owner/admin, so Spantail blocks the action that would leave it with none.

Enter the person’s email and pick a role (member or admin), then choose Add. The email must belong to an existing user on the instance — adding a member does not create an account.

To bring a brand-new person onto the instance first, an instance admin creates or invites them in User management. Once they have an account, add them here.

Use the member’s row action to remove them. The owner cannot be removed. Removing a member revokes their access to the workspace; their authored entries stay in the workspace.

Membership is per workspace — a person can be an admin in one workspace and a plain member in another.
