Inviting your team and managing roles

You can add teammates to your workspace and control what each can do.

Inviting someone

Go to Settings → Team → Invite User, enter their email, and pick a role. They get an email with a link to join. If they're new to Samba they'll create an account first; if they already have one they just sign in. If they're already signed in to Samba under a different account, they'll be asked whether to sign out and continue as the invited address, or stay signed in as they are.

Invitations last 7 days. If it's about to expire (or already has), just resend it (up to once every 10 minutes) from the Pending tab — that gives it a fresh 7-day window, so you don't need to remove and re-invite. You can also revoke an invitation from the same tab. If the email is already on your team, Samba rejects the invite and lets you know.

If the invitation link doesn't work

  • Link not recognized — the link may have been mistyped or cut off by an email client. Ask for a new invite.

  • Expired — invitations are valid for 7 days. Ask a workspace admin to send a new one.

  • Already used — if you're already in the workspace, the link just takes you there. Otherwise, the invite has already been redeemed by someone else — ask for a new one sent to your email.

The roles

Role

What they can do

Owner

Everything, including billing and ownership. One per workspace.

Admin

Everything except billing and transferring ownership.

Manager

Everything except billing; can manage the team, but not Owners or Admins.

User

Day-to-day work — bookings, experiences, customers, payments — but not team, billing, or settings.

Viewer

Read-only.

Field staff

Crew self-service only — their own schedule, tasks, and availability. No access to bookings, experiences, or other admin areas.

Managing members

From the Team page you can change a member's role, remove them (they move to Archived and can be restored later), or transfer ownership to an Admin — the previous owner becomes an Admin.

If you use crew scheduling and remove someone who was staffed on upcoming trips, those spots reopen automatically so you can reassign them.

A couple of safeguards: you can't remove yourself (use Leave workspace instead), and an Owner has to transfer ownership before leaving, so a workspace always has an owner. You also can't change or remove a teammate at your own level or above — an Admin can't act on another Admin, and a Manager can't act on an Admin or another Manager.

Seats

There's no limit on how many team members your workspace can have.
