Inviting team members allows you to collaborate on robots, share data extraction results, and manage workspace projects together. Each team member receives a specific role that determines their permissions.

Before you invite team members

Prerequisites

  • You must be a workspace Owner or Admin to invite team members.

  • The person you're inviting must have a Browse AI account linked to their email address.

  • Check your plan's team member limits before sending invitations.

Team member limits by plan

Different subscription plans have varying team member limits:

  • Free plan: Up to 3 team members

  • Personal plan: Up to 3 team members

  • Professional plan: Up to 10 team members

  • Premium plan: Custom team member limits

Note: These limits include all workspace members (Owner, Admins, and Members).

How to invite a team member

Follow these steps to invite someone to your workspace:

Step 1: Access workspace settings

  1. Navigate to the Workspace Settings tab in your dashboard.

  2. Locate the Workspace Members section.

  3. Click the + Invite teammate button.

Step 2: Enter invitation details

In the invitation dialog:

  1. Email address: Enter the team member's email address in the email field.

  2. Select role: Click the role dropdown and choose from:

    • Admin: Can manage workspace settings and team members

    • Member: Can build and run robots, access shared data

  3. Click Send Invitation to send the invitation email.

Step 3: Invitation sent

  • The team member will receive an invitation email.

  • Their status will show as "Pending" in your workspace members list.

  • They'll appear in your workspace once they accept the invitation.

Understanding invitation status

Team members can have different status indicators:

  • Pending: Invitation sent but not yet accepted

  • Active: Team member has accepted and can access the workspace

What happens after invitation

For the invited person

  • They receive an email invitation to join your workspace.

  • They must accept the invitation to gain access.

  • Once accepted, they can access the workspace with their assigned role permissions.

For workspace admins

  • You can see pending invitations in the workspace members list.

  • You can manage or remove pending invitations if needed.

  • You can modify roles after the person joins the workspace.

Managing team member roles

Assigning roles during invitation

Choose the appropriate role based on what the team member needs to do:

Choose Admin if they need to:

  • Manage workspace settings

  • Add or remove other team members

  • Configure robots and API settings

  • Access most workspace management features

Choose Member if they need to:

  • Build and run robots

  • Access shared workspace data

  • Work with existing robots and data

Changing roles after invitation

You can modify team member roles after they join:

  1. Go to Workspace Settings.

  2. Find the team member in the members list.

  3. Click the edit icon next to their name.

  4. Select their new role.

  5. Click Save to apply changes.

Troubleshooting invitations

Invitation not received

  • Check that the email address is correct.

  • Ask the recipient to check their spam folder.

  • Ensure they have a Browse AI account with that email address.

Can't send invitation

  • Verify you have Owner or Admin permissions.

  • Check that you haven't reached your plan's team member limit.

  • Ensure the email address isn't already a workspace member.

Invitation shows as pending

  • The recipient needs to accept the invitation via email.

  • Invitations don't expire, but you can resend if needed.

Team member can't access workspace

  • Confirm they accepted the invitation.

  • Check that their account email matches the invitation email.

  • Verify their role has appropriate permissions for their needs.

Important considerations

Account requirements

  • Team members must create a Browse AI account before accepting invitations.

  • The email address for their account must match the invitation email.

Billing implications

  • Adding team members may affect your subscription cost depending on your plan.

  • Team members consume credits from the workspace's allocation.

Workspace access

  • Team members only see workspaces they've been invited to.

  • They cannot access your personal workspace or other team workspaces.
