# Team and invites

# Team and Invitations

Organization owners and admins can invite people to the project by email. Invitations require Supporter. See [Plan limits](/plan-limits) for details. The invite specifies role and permissions (e.g. script, breakdown, schedule, shot lists, call sheets, crew contacts, view budget, create projects, invite) and project scope (all projects or selected). The invitee signs up or signs in and accepts. They then see the org and projects according to the invite.

Owners, admins, and members with **create projects** permission can create new projects for that organization. If someone can create projects for more than one organization, the New Project form lets them choose which organization owns the project.

## Who can see budget info

Budget rates and payments are restricted by default. A plain member added to a project will not see the Budget page, cost cards on element boards, contact rates, crew member rates, or cast member rates.

To grant budget visibility, check **View budget** on the invitation or edit member form. A view-only member can:

* Open the Budget page and see line items, totals, and fringe
* Export budget CSV, PDF, Excel, Topsheet, and Fringe report
* See cost and budget cards on element and location boards
* See rate fields on contacts, crew members, and cast members

A view-only member cannot add, edit, or delete budget lines, log payments, edit cast or crew rates, or change ancillary line items. To grant full budget management, check **Manage crew contacts** instead (or use the Admin role). Owners and admins always have full access.

**Invitations** is in the **top navigation bar** (global nav, not the project nav). Click it to manage pending and accepted invites for your organization.

To invite someone to a specific project, use **Invitations** in the top nav and set the scope to that project when filling out the invite form.

## Invitations vs. Address Book

**Invitations** send an email and grant project access. Use this when you want a collaborator to log in and work on the project.

**Address Book** (in the project nav) is a production contact list for crew, talent, and vendors. People in the Address Book can appear on call sheets and in the breakdown. Adding someone to the Address Book does not send them any emails or give them access to the project. See [Address Book](/contacts).

## How to send an invite

1. Click **Invitations** in the top navigation.
2. Click **New Invitation** and enter the invitee's email.
3. Choose their role and permissions.
4. Set project scope (all projects or specific projects).
5. Send. The invitee receives an email, clicks through, signs up or signs in, and accepts. They appear under Team Members.

## How to accept an invite

1. Open the invitation email and click the invite link.
2. Sign up or sign in with the email address that received the invite.
3. Review the organization and project access.
4. Click **Accept invitation**.

After you accept, the organization and its shared projects appear in Spell Slate according to the permissions and project scope set by the person who invited you. If you already have your own organization, you can still work in both places.

## Organization and account settings

Click your name in the top navigation to open the user menu. From there you can go to **Organization** (Overview, Team Members, Billing and Invoices) or **Account Settings** (name, email, password). Non-owners can leave the organization from the org Overview tab.
