# Teams and members

Invite members to your team, set their roles and manage the team.


A team holds your tags, verifications and API keys, and the people who work
with them. You can belong to more than one team and switch between them in the team
menu. Your personal account stays the same; only the team's data changes.

## Teams

- **Switch teams**: pick a team from the team menu. The active team has a
  check mark.
- **[Create a new team](/dashboard/teams/new)**.
- **[Rename the current team](/dashboard/settings/team/name)**.
- **[Upload a team logo](/dashboard/settings/team)**: shown in the team menu
  instead of the team's initials. A square image works best.
- **[Leave the current team](/dashboard/settings/team/leave)**.

To give your own customers separate teams through the API, use
[subteams](/docs/api/teams).

## Members

The team and its members live under
**[Settings → Team](/dashboard/settings/team)**. Each member shows their name,
email, role and when they last signed in. Your own row is marked **You**.

- **[Invite members](/dashboard/settings/team/invite)**: enter their email and
  pick a role for each one. They join from a link sent to their email.
- **Change a role**: pick another role next to the member. The new role
  applies at once, and the member's open pages reload with it.
- **[Remove a member](/dashboard/settings/team)**: click **Remove…** next to
  the member and confirm. On your own row this is **Leave…** instead.

Only owners and admins can manage members. Everyone else sees the member list
and can leave the team or create a new one.

## Roles

Every member has one role per team. Someone who belongs to two teams can be an
owner in one and a linker in the other.

| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| **Owner** | Everything, including making other members owners. |
| **Admin** | Everything an owner can, except changing or removing an owner. Admins manage the team, its members and its API keys. |
| **User** | Works with tags and verifications in the dashboard. Sees the team but cannot change it, its members or its API keys. |
| **Linker** | Writes tags with the [TAGBASE Writer app](/docs/guides/writer-app) and manages their own account. They cannot open the dashboard. |

These rules always apply:

- A team always keeps at least one owner. The last owner cannot leave or lose
  the owner role; make someone else an owner first.
- Only an owner can make someone an owner or remove one.
- Every member can use the Writer app and change their own name, email and
  password.

Roles apply to people signed in to the dashboard. An
[API key](/docs/api/api-keys) acts for its team and has no role.
