# Step 7: Invite Your Team
> Add teammates to your workspace and set up basic permissions for collaboration
**Estimated Time:** 5 minutes
Invite your teammates and set up basic permissions to enable collaborative data work on your 5X workspace.
## Why invite your team?
Data projects are most successful when teams can collaborate effectively. By inviting your teammates early, you'll:
* **Enable collaborative data exploration** - Multiple team members can query and analyze data together
* **Share insights faster** - Everyone can access the same data sources and results
* **Establish proper governance** - Set appropriate access levels from the start
* **Accelerate adoption** - More users means faster time to value across your organization
## Adding team members
### 1. Access team management
1. **Navigate to Team management section**
* Click **"Team"** in the left sidebar
* You'll see the team management interface with **Users** and **Roles** tabs
2. **Team Management Interface**
* **Users tab**: View current workspace members and their roles
* **Roles tab**: Manage role permissions (if needed)
* See both 5X platform roles and warehouse-specific roles
* Track user status and manage access
### 2. Invite new users
1. **Add Individual Users**
* Click **"Add new user"** button in the top right
* Fill in the user's **Name** and **Email**
* Select their **5X Role** (Admin, Contributor, etc.)
* Choose **Warehouse Roles** based on their data access needs
* Click **"Add new user"** to send the invitation
## Understanding user roles
The 5X platform uses two types of roles:
**5X Platform Roles** - Control access to platform features:
* **Admin** - Full platform management and user control
* **Developer** - Build models, queries, and data applications
* **Member** - Standard access for data work and collaboration
* **BI User** - Focus on dashboards and business intelligence
* **Custom** - Define specific permission sets
**Warehouse Roles** - Control access to your data warehouse for querying and data operations.
**Keep it simple:** Start with basic role assignments - you can always adjust permissions later as your team's needs evolve.
**Tip:** New users will receive an email invitation to join your workspace. They'll need to accept the invitation to gain access to the platform.
## The invitation process
### What happens when you invite someone
1. **Invitation Email Sent**
* Users receive an invitation email from "The 5X Team"
* Email includes your workspace name and a brief platform description
* Contains an "Accept Invite" button for easy access
2. **User Experience**
* Recipients click "Accept Invite" to join your workspace
* They'll be guided through any necessary account setup
* Once accepted, they'll have access based on the roles you assigned
