Adding a New Designer to a Project ⏹️ Space

Let’s walk through the steps to give a new team member access to the workspace where they will do their daily tasks. 
# Tutorial: Adding Members to a Space

## Section 1: Accessing Space Settings

1.  **Navigate to Your `⏹️ Space`**: First, go to the `⏹️ Space` where you want to add a new member. In this case, we'll go to the `Active Projects` space.

2.  **Open Space Settings**: In the top right corner of the space, click the **Settings** (gear) icon to open the configuration panel for that specific space.

3.  **Find and Select Users**: Start typing the name of the person you want to add. Select them from the list. You can add multiple people at once.

4.  **Assign a Role**: This is a critical step. From the "Role" dropdown, select the level of access they should have. For a new designer, the **'Member'** role is usually appropriate.

Quick Tip: Understanding Roles in a ⏹️ Space

Choosing the right role is key to keeping your space organized and secure.
  • Admin: Can change ⏹️ Space settings, manage members, and configure Workviews. Best for team leads or project managers.
  • Member: Can create, edit, and comment on 🧊 Objects. Cannot change space settings. Perfect for most team members.
  • Viewer: Can only view 🧊 Objects and read comments. Cannot create or edit. Great for clients or stakeholders from other departments who need visibility but shouldn’t make changes.
