# Invite and manage members

Add people to your account, approve their requests, choose who administers the account, and remove access. For account admins.

## Prerequisites

- You are an admin of the account.
- The account has a payment method on file. Until it does, admins are redirected to [billing setup](https://docs.alisx.com/how-to/account/set-up-billing.md).

## Open the account admin pages

Click your name at the bottom of the navigation pane, then **Account settings**. This opens the account admin pages for the active account.

The left pane lists **Activity**, **Billing**, **Members**, **Branding**, **Interviews**, **Artifacts**, **Support** and **Settings**. Click **Members**.

## Add a member

1. Click **Add member** in the title bar.
2. Type the person's email address in **Add people by email**. Pick them from the list if they already have an AlisX user, or click the typed address to add someone new. For a new person, fill in **Given name** and **Family name**.
3. Under **Product access**, select **Alis Ideate**, **Alis Build**, both or neither. Every member gets viewer access to the account whether or not you select a product.
4. Click **Add**. With several people staged the button reads **Add N members**; you can add up to 20 at once.

The person appears in the members table and receives an email invitation. If someone you typed is already a member, the dialog offers **Manage access** instead, which takes you to their row.

## Approve or decline access requests

People whose email domain matches your account can request access from the sign-up page, and members can request Build access from inside the console. Pending requests appear in two places on **Members**: a chip in the title bar reading **N requests**, and a row at the top of the table reading **N pending access requests**.

1. Click either one. The **Access requests** dialog lists each person and when they asked.
2. Click **Approve** or **Decline**. With several requests, **Approve all** approves them together.

An approved person gets Ideate and Build access and becomes a member if they were not one already.

## Let your domain join without approval

1. On **Members**, click the auto-enrol chip in the title bar. The **Product auto-enrol** dialog opens.
2. Under **Recognised domains**, type each email domain your organisation owns and press ++enter++.
3. Switch on **Alis Ideate**, **Alis Build** or both. The **What happens** line describes the effect.
4. Click **Done**.

Anyone who signs in with an address on a recognised domain can then join the account and claim the switched-on products themselves. The rule appears as a row in the members table.

## Make a member an admin or a viewer

1. In the member's row, click the icon in the **Account admin** column (tooltip **Change role**).
2. In **Confirm permission update**, click **Confirm**.

The dialog grants admin access to a viewer, or revokes it from an admin. A member always keeps at least viewer access.

## Remove a member

1. In the member's row, click the remove icon at the end of the row (tooltip **Remove all access**).
2. In **Confirm member removal**, click **Remove**.

This removes the person's Ideate and Build access and their membership of the account. To take away Ideate or Build access only, see [Manage product access](https://docs.alisx.com/how-to/account/manage-product-access.md).

## Act on several members at once

Tick the checkboxes of up to 20 members. A bar replaces the toolbar with actions to grant or revoke **Alis Ideate access**, **Alis Build access** and admin access, and a **Remove all access** button. Each action shows the affected people before it runs; removal asks you to type the number of members to confirm. A result dialog reports any member the action failed for.
