You add a colleague by sending an email invitation and choosing the role that decides what they can do. There is no limit on how many people you can invite.
Before you start
You need the Owner, Admin or Manager role. Other roles do not see the Team page.
Decide which role fits the person. See Team roles and permissions.
Send the invitation
Go to Settings → Team and select Invite User.
Enter the person's Email Address and pick a Role. You can offer any role except Owner. A Manager cannot offer the Admin role.
Select Send invitation.
Until your workspace is activated, only the owner can open it. Invited colleagues can accept, but they get in once the owner has put a card on file. See Set up your workspace.
What happens next
The person receives an email, in English, with a link that is valid for 7 days.
If they are new to Samba, the link takes them to create an account with their email already filled in. If they already have an account, they sign in. Either way they land in your workspace with the role you chose.
The invitation shows on a Pending tab of the Team page until it is accepted.
Resend or revoke a pending invitation
Open Settings → Team → Pending.
Resend sends the email again and restarts the 7 days. You can resend once every 10 minutes.
Revoke stops the link from working straight away.
To change the role on a pending invitation, invite the same email again with the new role. Samba updates the existing invitation instead of creating a second one.

You cannot invite someone who is already a member. That includes people you removed earlier: they are archived, not deleted. Bring them back from the Archived tab instead. See Change a role or remove a team member.
