# Managing users

Expand your team and share your environments

## Inviting Team Members

To add team members to your Release account, navigate to **Settings** -> **Members**. Click **Send Invites** to bring up the form for inviting a new member.

Enter in their email address and select a role (see below). The team member will receive an invitation and upon logging in or signing up with Release, they will be added to your Release account.

You can change a user's access level under the "Users" section. Select either "Member" to give them limited permissions or "Owner" to give them full permissions.

## User permissions

Users with "Owner" permissions can configure all aspects of your Release account, including changing the account information such as the name and avatar, and removing existing integrations such as domain names, cloud provider integrations, and clusters.

Users with "member" permissions can view all settings and can change some account-level settings, but cannot access destructive settings for projects that they do not own.

Users with "instance\_accessor" permessions have the same permissions as members, but additionally can access the Logs and Terminal for services in environments they did not create.

For each category of settings, the permissions apply as follows:

### Account settings

* Members **can** change Account Settings, including when ephemeral environments are created and destroyed.
* Members **can** change GitHub settings, including whether comments are sent from Release to GitHub PRs, etc.

### Users

* Members **can** *view* other members, including their roles and their email addresses.
* Members **cannot** invite new members or remove existing members.

### Build settings

* Members **can** view, edit, or delete build arguments.

### Integrations

* Members **can** add new integrations.

### Domains

* Members **can** add new domains and delete or verify existing ones.

### Clusters

* Members **can** create new clusters and cloud provider integrations.
* Members **can** set the default cluster, add new node groups, and edit existing node groups.
* Members **cannot** upgrade existing clusters.

### Datasets

* Members **can** create new datasets.

### Environment handles

* Members **can** create new environment handles.
* Members **can** duplicate or delete existing environment handles.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.release.com/reference-documentation/account-settings/managing-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
