# Invite and manage team members in your Overwatch org

> Send email invitations, assign owner/admin/viewer roles, manage pending invites, and remove members from your Overwatch organization.

Overwatch lets you bring colleagues into your organization so they can collaborate on monitoring. Only the organization owner can send invitations. When you invite someone, Overwatch sends them an email with a link they click to accept and join.

<Note>
  Invitations expire after **24 hours**. If a teammate hasn't accepted in time, you can resend the invite to generate a fresh link.
</Note>

## Invite a team member

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open team settings">
    In the dashboard, go to **Settings → Team**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter an email address">
    Type your teammate's email address into the **Invite member** field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a role">
    Choose a role from the dropdown next to the email field:

    * **Viewer** — read-only access to the dashboard and monitors
    * **Admin** — full monitoring and alert channel management, no billing access
    * **Owner** — full access including billing and organization management
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invitation">
    Click **Invite**. Overwatch sends an email to the address you entered with a link to accept.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Teammate accepts">
    Your teammate clicks the link in the email. If they don't have an Overwatch account yet, they'll be prompted to create one first. Once they accept, they appear immediately in your team member list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Only assign the **Owner** role to people you fully trust. Owners can manage billing, change subscription plans, and delete the organization.
</Warning>

## Member limits by plan

Your plan determines how many members your organization can have. Pending invitations count against this limit.

| Plan       | Member limit |
| ---------- | ------------ |
| Starter    | 1            |
| Pro        | 5            |
| Enterprise | Unlimited    |

If you've reached your plan's member limit, the invite form will be blocked. You'll need to either remove an existing member or upgrade your plan before you can invite anyone new. See [Overwatch pricing plans](/billing/plans) for upgrade options.

## Managing pending invites

While an invite is waiting to be accepted, it appears in the **Pending invites** section of **Settings → Team**. From there you can:

* **Resend** — click the refresh icon to send a new email with a fresh 24-hour expiry window
* **Revoke** — click the trash icon to cancel the invite; the link in the original email will no longer work

## Removing a member

To remove a team member from your organization:

1. Go to **Settings → Team**.
2. Find the member in the team list.
3. Click the remove (trash) icon next to their name.
4. Confirm the removal in the dialog that appears.

<Warning>
  Removing a member revokes their access **immediately**. They will no longer be able to log in to your organization. This action cannot be undone — you would need to send a new invitation to restore their access.
</Warning>

<Note>
  You cannot remove the **only** organization owner while they are the sole owner. To hand off ownership, invite the successor with the **Owner** role. After they accept, remove the previous owner's seat from the team list (same flow as [removing any other member](#removing-a-member)).
