Manage your team
Invite members, assign roles, and manage your organization's team.
Manage your team
Your organization's team is the group of people who create, edit, and publish content across your sites. From the team management page, you can invite new members, change roles, and remove access.
View current members
Navigate to Settings → Team to see your team roster. Each member entry shows:
- Name -- Full name from their IANews profile
- Email -- The email address they signed up with
- Role -- Their current permission level (Owner, Admin, Editor, Author, or Viewer)
- Joined date -- When they accepted the invitation
- Status -- Active (working normally) or Pending (invitation sent, not yet accepted)
Invite a new member
Open the invite dialog
From Settings → Team, click the "Invite Member" button in the top-right corner.
Enter their email
Type the email address of the person you want to invite. They do not need an existing IANews account -- they will be prompted to create one when they accept.
Select a role
Choose the role from the dropdown: Admin, Editor, Author, or Viewer. See the Roles and permissions guide for details on what each role can do.
Send the invitation
Click "Send Invite". The invitee receives an email with a link. When they click the link, they sign up (or log in if they already have an account) and join your organization with the assigned role.
Pending invitations appear in the team list with a "Pending" status badge. You can resend or cancel a pending invitation at any time.
Change a member's role
- Go to Settings → Team and click on the member you want to update.
- In the member detail panel, open the Role dropdown.
- Select the new role.
- Click Save.
The change takes effect immediately. The member's permissions update the next time they load any page.
Only members with the Owner or Admin role can change other members' roles. You cannot change your own role if you are the only Owner.
Remove a member
- Go to Settings → Team and click on the member you want to remove.
- Click "Remove" at the bottom of the member detail panel.
- Confirm the removal in the dialog.
Removing a member revokes all their access immediately. They will be signed out of any active sessions. Their previously created articles, briefs, and edits are preserved in the system -- but they can no longer view or edit anything.
Team size limits
The number of team members you can have depends on your plan:
| Plan | Team members |

| Pro | 5 |
| Business | 20 |
| Enterprise | Unlimited |
If you reach your plan's limit, you need to upgrade your subscription before inviting more members.
