# Team and workspaces

Understand memberships, roles and seats, switch workspaces, invite colleagues and manage requests to join.

Canonical: https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/team/overview/

## Your team at a glance

Open **Team** to see **Members**, their roles and seat status in the current workspace. Your personal account can belong to several workspaces; membership and permission in one do not automatically apply to another. Nadlanite presents the workspace as an office.

| Role | How the interface describes it |
|---|---|
| **Owner** | Owns the workspace and can initiate ownership transfer. |
| **Admin** | Manages the team and billing, and publishes. |
| **Member** | Prepares and publishes posts from their own accounts. |
| **Viewer** | Sees workspace content and does not publish. |

Permissions for specific actions still depend on the action and your seat. An admin is not the owner, and managing team billing does not mean every bill is personally theirs.

## Guides in this area

- [Switch or create a workspace](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/team/workspaces/): find your current membership, use another workspace, or start setup for a new one.
- [Invite colleagues and accept invitations](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/team/invitations/): email invitations, invitation links, correct account and expiry.
- [Join with a workspace code](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/team/join-requests/): request access and approve or decline applicants.
- [Manage roles, seats and departures](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/team/roles-and-seats/): understand approval, payer and ownership constraints.

## Read seat status separately from role

A person's role says what they may do; seat status says whether their subscription access is ready. Rows can show **Active**, **Payment issue**, **Frozen**, **Needs to set up billing** or **Waiting for sponsor**, and a trial end where applicable. A **Viewer** has a seat too; viewing is not an unlimited free membership.

With self-pay, people set up their own seats. With sponsored billing, the sponsor pays and sets them up. A request or invitation alone does not guarantee an active seat. See [Plans and billing](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/billing/overview/) for plan confirmations and payment status.

## Who can manage the team

Owners and admins can invite people and review join requests. Removal and role changes have additional restrictions. If a management control is missing, check your role instead of assuming the page failed. Every member can use the Team page to understand the team and their seat even when a billing gate prevents other work.
