# Team and workspaces

> Workspaces as the billing root, inviting teammates, per-site access, the three roles and what each can do, and how to hand off ownership.

A workspace is the billing root: it owns a plan, a Stripe subscription, a set of sites, and a member roster. Most accounts have exactly one; you can create more to keep clients or projects on separate plans.

## Workspaces

Each workspace has its own sites, members, and plan: usage and billing never mix across workspaces. Switch between workspaces you belong to, or create a new one, from **Dashboard → Workspaces**. Creating a workspace makes you its owner.

> **Deleting a workspace:** Only an owner can delete a workspace, and only once it has no sites left: delete or move its sites first. Deleting cancels any active Stripe subscription for that workspace before removing members, invites, and the workspace itself.

## Inviting teammates

Owners and admins can invite by email from **Settings → Team**. mrkr emails the invite automatically; the invite link is also shown in the UI in case the email doesn't land. Invites expire after 7 days.

An invite is strictly bound to the email address it was sent to: accepting it requires signing in with a verified email that matches exactly. Forwarding an invite link to someone else does not grant them access.

### Per-site access for members

Members (not owners or admins) can be scoped to either the whole workspace or a specific set of sites. An owner sets this from each member's **Manage access** control: pick "All sites" or check individual sites. A member with no grants at all sees nothing until an owner assigns them access.

## Roles

| Role | Can do | Cannot do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Owner | Everything: billing, plan changes, invite/remove anyone, delete the workspace, change any role. | Nothing. |
| Admin | Invite and remove members, configure sites, see all data, manage billing. | Remove the owner, change the owner's role, delete the workspace. |
| Member | Read-only dashboards for the sites they've been granted (or every site, if scoped workspace-wide). | Invite, configure sites, touch billing, or write anything. |

> **Note:** Every workspace must have at least one owner. Demoting or removing the only owner is rejected: promote a second owner first.

## Transferring ownership

There's no single "transfer" button. Do it in two steps: as the current owner, change another member's role to **Owner** (a workspace can have more than one), then optionally demote yourself to Admin or Member once they're confirmed as owner. The last-owner guard means you can always demote yourself as long as someone else already holds the Owner role.

## Leaving a workspace

There's no self-serve "leave" action. Ask an owner or admin to remove you from **Settings → Team**, or (if you're the owner) transfer ownership first, then have the new owner remove you.
