# Team and account

> Invite colleagues as admins or members, manage their roles, and change your own name and password.

Everyone on your team has their own account. Accounts are either **admins** or **members**.

<note>

Every member can see every project, including environment variables and database passwords. Invite people you trust with your apps' secrets.

## Invite a colleague

<steps level="3">

### Create the invitation

Go to **Invitations** and click **Invite member**. Enter your colleague's email and choose a role:

- **Member** deploys and manages projects.
- **Admin** also manages servers, members and settings.

Click **Create invitation**.

### Send the link

Harblet shows a link like `https://harblet.example.com/join/…`. Copy it and send it to your colleague, for example by chat. Harblet doesn't send emails.

### Your colleague joins

Your colleague opens the link, enters their name and a password, and clicks **Create account**. The email can't be changed.

</steps>

An invitation link works once and expires after 7 days. Invitations are listed under **Invitations**, expired ones with an **Expired** badge. Open the **⋮** menu of an invitation to **Copy link** again or **Revoke invitation**.

<tip>

Invitation links start with the address you opened Harblet at. Give Harblet [its own domain](https://harblet.com/docs/administration/harblet-domain) before you invite your team, so the links point there.

</tip>

## Manage members

**Members** lists everyone with their role and when they joined. Open the **⋮** menu of a member to:

- **Make admin** or **Make member**.
- **Remove from team.** They're signed out and lose access right away. Invitations they sent are cancelled. Their deployments stay.

You can't change your own role or remove yourself.

<warning>

Keep at least two admins. Harblet has no way to reset a password yet, so an install whose only admin forgets their password can't be managed anymore.

</warning>

## Your account

Open the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar and click **Account**.

- **Profile:** change your name. Your team sees it, for example next to your deployments. The email can't be changed.
- **Password:** enter your current and a new password of at least 8 characters, then click **Change password**. Harblet logs you out on your other devices.

## Forgotten passwords

Harblet doesn't send emails, so there's no password reset. A member who forgot their password is removed by an admin and invited again.
