Invite your team

Share a project with your team, what owners, admins and members can do, and what happens when someone leaves.

A project's team shares its phones, keys and credit. The person who created the project is its owner. Everyone else is an admin or a member. A project has up to 20 people, pending invites included.

Someone who isn't on the team can't see the project at all.

Invite someone

  1. Open Settings and go to Team.
  2. Choose Invite, enter their email address, and choose Admin or Member.
  3. Copy the link and send it to them. It is shown once.

The link works once, for 7 days, and only for the invited address: they sign in or sign up with that email to join. Inviting the same address again replaces the earlier link, and an admin can revoke a pending invite from Team.

What a member can't do

A member can't create Admin keys, revoke a key someone else created, invite or remove people, change roles, change the project's settings, or open the billing portal. The console shows these controls disabled, and says only admins can use them.

Phones started in a shared project count toward its owner's running limit, never toward yours.

Remove someone or leave

An admin can change anyone's role and remove anyone, except the owner. A person who is removed loses access on their next request. Anyone but the owner can leave the project from Team.

API keys stay when their creator leaves or is removed, and keep working until an admin revokes them on API keys.
