Invite and manage members

Add people to your workspace so they can access its projects, assign each one a workspace role, and change or remove members as your team changes. Everyone you invite counts toward your plan's seat limit.

Note: You need to be a workspace Owner or Admin to invite members or change roles. If you're a Member, the invite fields are disabled and Sequence shows "Only workspace admins can invite members." See Workspace roles and permissions.

Workspace members and project members are different

This page manages workspace members — people who belong to your whole workspace. A project also has its own separate list of collaborators with their own roles (Owner, Admin, Editor, and Guest), managed inside the project. Adding someone to the workspace does not automatically add them to a specific project, and the two "Members" screens don't share roles. To add someone to a single project, see Manage project collaborators.

Open workspace member settings#

  1. In Sequence, open your workspace.
  2. Go to workspace settings and, under Workspace in the settings sidebar, click Members.

The Members settings screen opens, with sections for inviting members, allowed email domains, and your current workspace members.

The Members settings screen: an Invite new members row with an email typed and Role set to Member, and a Workspace members list showing the Owner with a fixed Owner label, Members with role dropdowns, and a Guest in its own Guests group.

Invite members by email#

  1. On the Members settings screen, find the Invite new members section.
  2. In an Email address field, type the person's email.
  3. In the Role dropdown next to it, choose the workspace role to grant:
    • Member: Full workspace access. This is the default.
    • Admin: Everything a Member can do, plus managing members, billing, and workspace settings.
    • Guest: Limited access for outside collaborators. For what each role can do, see Workspace roles and permissions.
  4. To invite more than one person at once, type into the next Email address field — a new empty row appears automatically as you fill the last one. Set a role for each.
  5. Click Invite.

Sequence sends an invitation to each valid address and confirms with a "Members invited" message. Each invited person appears in your Workspace members list right away as a pending invite until they accept.

Note: If you type an address Sequence can't read as an email, the field is outlined and it shows "Please enter valid email addresses." Fix the address, then click Invite again.

Tip: To let anyone with your company's email domain join automatically instead of inviting them one by one, see Allowed email domains.

If invites are blocked by your seat limit#

Every workspace member counts toward the maximum number of seats on your plan. When you reach that limit, the Invite new members section is disabled and Sequence shows an "Upgrade to add more team members" banner explaining you've reached your workspace member limit.

To add more people, click Upgrade Now in the banner to move to a plan with more seats, or remove members you no longer need to free up a seat. See Plans and billing.

Change a member's role#

  1. On the Members settings screen, scroll to the Workspace members list.
  2. Find the person in the Members or Guests group.
  3. Click the role dropdown to the right of their name and choose a new role — Admin, Member, or Guest.

Sequence applies the new role immediately. If you switch someone to or from Guest, they move between the Members and Guests groups in the list.

Note: The workspace Owner shows a fixed Owner label instead of a dropdown — you can't change the Owner's role from this screen.

Understand the Guest tier#

Guests are workspace members with limited access, listed in their own Guests group beneath the regular Members group. Invite someone as a Guest when they need to work with your team but shouldn't have full workspace access — for example, a freelancer or an external reviewer. Guests still count toward your seat limit. For exactly what a Guest can and can't do, see Workspace roles and permissions.

Remove a member#

  1. On the Members settings screen, find the person in the Workspace members list.
  2. Click their role dropdown and choose Remove.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, confirm that you want to remove them.

Sequence removes the member and frees up their seat. They lose access to the workspace and its projects.

Warning: Removing a member revokes their workspace access immediately. To bring them back, invite them again by email.
