Step 2
Enter the email address
Click the **Email** box and type the address of the person you want to add. You can enter more than one address, separated by commas or spaces.
Step 3
Choose a role
Under **Invite as**, the role defaults to **Member**, who can access all public items in your Workspace. Click it to open the list of roles.
Step 4
Keep Member as the role
The menu lists **Member**, **Limited Member**, **Guest** and **Admin**, plus an option to add a custom role. **Guest** and **Limited Member** can only access items shared with them, while **Admin** can manage Spaces, People, Billing and other Workspace settings. Pick the one that fits, here **Member**.
