# Inviting Team Members

Catchify is designed for teams. You can invite colleagues from across your organization -- security managers, developers, IT directors, project managers -- so everyone who needs visibility into your security testing program has access.

## How to Invite a Team Member

1. Navigate to **Team** in the main menu
2. Click **Invite Member**
3. Enter the team member's details:
   * **Email address** -- The email they will use to log in
   * **Full name** -- Their first and last name
   * **Role** -- Select the appropriate role (see [Roles & Permissions](https://docs.catchify.sa/catchify-platform-documentation/team-management/roles-and-permissions) for details)
4. Click **Send Invitation**

The team member will receive an invitation email with a link to set up their account. They will need to:

* Click the link in the email
* Create a password
* Verify their email address
* Log in to the portal

Invitation links expire after 7 days. If a team member does not activate their account in time, you can resend the invitation from the Team page.
{% endhint %}

## Managing Your Team

The Team page shows all members of your organization on Catchify:

| Column     | Description                                                         |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**   | The team member's full name                                         |
| **Email**  | Their email address                                                 |
| **Role**   | Their assigned role (Manager or Member)                             |
| **Status** | Active, Pending (invitation sent but not yet accepted), or Disabled |
| **Joined** | When they activated their account                                   |

## Editing a Team Member

To change a team member's role or permissions:

1. Find the member on the Team page
2. Click the **Edit** button next to their name
3. Update their role or specific permissions
4. Click **Save Changes**

Changes take effect immediately -- the team member will see their updated access the next time they load a page or log in.

## Removing a Team Member

If a team member leaves your organization or no longer needs access:

1. Find the member on the Team page
2. Click **Remove** next to their name
3. Confirm the removal

The member will immediately lose access to the portal. Their past activity (comments, status changes, etc.) will remain visible in the system for audit purposes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Removing a team member is permanent. If they need access again in the future, you will need to send a new invitation.
{% endhint %}

## Resending Invitations

If a team member did not receive their invitation or the link expired:

1. Find the member on the Team page (they will show a **Pending** status)
2. Click **Resend Invitation**
3. A fresh invitation email will be sent to their address

## Best Practices for Team Setup

* **Invite all stakeholders early** -- Make sure everyone who needs visibility has access before testing begins
* **Assign appropriate roles** -- Give each member only the access they need. See [Roles & Permissions](https://docs.catchify.sa/catchify-platform-documentation/team-management/roles-and-permissions) for guidance.
* **Review your team regularly** -- Periodically check your team list and remove members who no longer need access
* **Enable 2FA for everyone** -- Encourage all team members to set up two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security

There is no limit to the number of team members you can add to your Catchify account. Invite everyone who needs to be part of the security conversation.
