Inviting Team Members
You can invite any person to your team by email. Invitees do not need an existing account — they will be prompted to register when they accept.
Sending an Invitation
- In the sidebar, click Members.
- Click Invite Member, enter the person's email address.
- Select their role: Member or Admin.
- Click Send Invitation.
An invitation email is sent immediately. The invitation appears in the Pending Invitations list until accepted or cancelled.
Roles
DevShip has four roles. The Roles & Permissions feature must be enabled on your plan to assign Manager, Developer, and Organization Contact roles — otherwise all invited members default to Admin.
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Full access — team settings, billing, membership management, organizations, projects, issues, time entries, hour allotments, and the client portal. |
| Manager | Can invite team members; create, update, and delete projects and manage their tags; create, update, and delete issues; manage time entries. Cannot access billing, team settings, or organization management. |
| Developer | Can create, update, and delete issues on assigned projects; log and manage time entries. Cannot manage projects, invite members, or access settings. |
| Organization Contact | Read-only access to the client portal (shared reporting, hours, and issue views). No access to any internal team data, settings, or projects. |
Accepting an Invitation
The invitee receives an email with an acceptance link. Clicking it will:
- Log them in (or prompt them to register if they don't have an account).
- Add them to the team with the assigned role.
- Redirect them to the team dashboard.
Cancelling a Pending Invitation
While an invitation is pending, you can cancel it from Team Settings → Team Members → Pending Invitations. Click Cancel next to the relevant invitation. The link in the invitee's email will no longer work.
Removing a Team Member
To remove someone from the team:
- In the sidebar, under Manage, click Members.
- Locate the member in the list.
- Click the Three-dot button next to their name and select Archive User.
Removed members immediately lose access to all team resources. Their issues and comments remain intact and are not deleted.
