# Managing Organization Members

You can invite team members to your organization and assign them roles that control their level of access across your stores.

## Inviting a Member

  Go to **Account** and open **Organizations**.
  Select the organization you want to manage.
  Press **Invite Member**.
  Enter the member's email address and select their role.
  Press **Send Invite**.

The invited person receives an email with a link to accept the invitation. If they don't have a Fuze Store account yet, they can create one with the same email address and then accept. Invitations expire after 72 hours, and the invitee only joins once they accept — until then they appear under **Pending Invitations**.

### Combined Invite (Store Access)

When inviting a member, you can optionally assign them to specific stores at the same time. Select stores and roles in the **Store Access** section of the invite form. When the invitee accepts, they are added to both the organization and the selected stores in a single step.

### Pending Invitations

You can view pending invitations on the organization detail page. From there you can:

- **Resend** an invitation (generates a new link and extends the expiry)
- **Cancel** an invitation (removes it permanently)

## Member Role Reference

| Role        | Store Access          | Billing Access   | Manage Members |
| ----------- | --------------------- | ---------------- | -------------- |
| **Owner**   | All stores (full)     | Yes (view + pay) | Yes            |
| **Admin**   | All stores (full)     | View only        | Yes            |
| **Member**  | Manual per-store only | No               | No             |
| **Billing** | Manual per-store only | Yes (view + pay) | No             |

  Owners and admins automatically access all stores under the organization. They
  are not listed in any store's staff list, but they can perform any action on
  any store. This cannot be restricted.

## Updating a Member's Role

1. Open the organization and go to the **Members** tab.
2. Find the member you want to update.
3. Press **Change Role** and select the new role.
4. Confirm the change. It takes effect immediately.

  Only owners can assign the **Admin** or **Owner** role. Admins can assign **Member** or **Billing** roles. You cannot change your own role.

## Removing a Member

1. Open the organization and go to the **Members** tab.
2. Find the member you want to remove.
3. Press the **Remove** button next to their name.
4. Confirm the removal.

Removing a member revokes their organization-level access. If they were also manually added as staff to individual stores, that store-level access remains unaffected.

  The organization owner cannot be removed. If you need to transfer ownership, promote another member to owner first.
