# Teams PostLab is centered around Teams. Every Team has an Owner and a Drive. A Team can consist of a single person, or contain hundreds of users - anything goes. All Team Members can add Members. ### Add Team Members Click `➕` at the bottom of a panel, then select `Team Member`. ![➕ > Team Member](/files/-MVXB9tZCHrJV1aWEY74) ![Add Team Member](/files/-MVXBE-gXvtYFALKFiwr) Team Owners may also add Team Members from the `Account` pane in Preferences. `Preferences... > Account > TEAMS > ⚙️ / (⋯) > Team Members` {% hint style="success" %} Once someone adds a new Team Member, within 10 minutes, both the Team Owner and the new Team Member will receive an email: * For the Team Owner - a notification the new Team Member was added successfully. * For the new Team Member - an onboarding email with instructions on getting started with PostLab. {% endhint %} Team Members have access to all Team resources, including: * `Productions` * `Documents` * `Folders` * `Drive` All Team Members can add assets and media to Drive, and remove them. When it comes to Productions and Folders, what you are allowed to do depends on your Role: ### Roles #### Owner `Owners` have full access to a Team. `Owners` typically set up Folder structures and organize `Productions` for `Editors` to work on. {% hint style="info" %} A Team Member with an Owner Role is not the same as a Team Owner. A Team Owner may also: * Change Team Name * Change Membership * Update Payment Details * Cancel Membership * [Enable / Disable Remote Locking for Avid Media Composer](/postlab-classic/remote-locking/media-composer-bin-locking.md) {% endhint %} #### Editor `Editors` can work on anything, but cannot: * Move or delete `Productions` * Create, move, or delete Folders {% hint style="warning" %} While `Editors` can't delete `Productions`, they *can* delete individual [`Documents`](/postlab-classic/documents.md) within a `Production`. {% endhint %} ### Billing When adding a Team Member, your Team will be charged for that Member based on the billing cycle you selected for your PostLab Plan, monthly or yearly. You can remove a Team Member at any time. Any unused days within that billing cycle are credited to your account. Even with a yearly plan, you'll receive a credit if a Team Member is removed before the year is over. ## Questions ### How do I know who is currently on my Team? You can learn who is on your Team in multiple ways: * `Preferences... > Account > TEAMS > Team Members` * Click `➕` at the bottom of a panel, then select `Team Member`. * `POSTLAB CLOUD > (Your Team) > ABOUT > (N) Members` ![POSTLAB CLOUD > (Your Team) > ABOUT > (N) Members](/files/-MW_pHKDEOnSkVnsvN2N) ![Team Members](/files/-MW_pWd4neG5qKqx-jwJ) ### ### Generally, I collaborate with just one other person, but that changes from time to time. What's the best way to manage that? [Add that person as a Team Member.](#add-team-members) When your project wraps or their contribution to the project is fulfilled, remove them. We'll credit you for that Team Member's unused days, and [billing will be adjusted accordingly.](#billing) ### I have a PostLab account. My collaborator/client has a PostLab account. Should they add me as a Team Member, or invite me as an External Member? If someone needs access to all Team resources, especially PostLab Drive, [add (or request to be added) as a Team Member.](#add-team-members) Inviting someone as an External Member lets a Team Owner share Folders, Subfolders, and `Productions` with another PostLab user. Depending on how an External Member is invited, their access will be limited to: * A Folder * A Folder and its Subfolders * A `Production` {% hint style="danger" %} External Members cannot access a Team's Drive. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} External Members require their own PostLab plan independent from your team. Which plan doesn't matter, any will do. {% endhint %} #### Invite Someone as an External Member 1. Go into a Folder, Subfolder, or `Production`. 2. Click `➕` at the bottom of the panel. 3. Depending on where an External Member is invited from, select: 1. Inside a Folder or Subfolder - `Folder Member` 2. Inside a Production - `PRODUCTION` > `Member` 4. Click `Invite External Member`, fill in the `Invite External Member` form, then click `Send Invite`. ![Invite External Member](/files/-MVXKwoPV_s3aEjbyizJ) Folder Members can access shared Folders with its Subfolders and `Productions`. Production Members can access shared `Productions` only. #### Access Shares as an External Member 1. Go to `POSTLAB CLOUD` > `Shares` > `Shared with me`. 2. Select the Share you wish to access. 3. Click `Open`. ![POSTLAB CLOUD > Shares > Shared with me](/files/-MVXJSTs-v8zyePCbxwj) ### I have a Solo plan. How can I collaborate with others? With a Solo plan, your Team and, thus, your Drive is limited to you. You can collaborate with others on PostLab by [inviting someone to a Production as an External Member.](/postlab-classic/teams.md#invite-someone-as-an-external-member) External Members can then [access the `Documents` inside that `Production`](/postlab-classic/productions.md#inside-a-production) . They will not have access to your Drive. When sharing a Production with someone, they're added as an External Member with an [`Editor`](/postlab-classic/teams.md#editor) role to your Production. This means: {% hint style="info" %} * External Members - can only see inside the Production they were invited to. * `Editor`- can work on anything, but **cannot**: * Move or delete Productions * Create, move, or delete Folders {% endhint %} {% hint style="danger" %} External Members cannot access your Drive. {% endhint %} When you share a `Production` with an External Member, those `Shares` will appear here: `POSTLAB CLOUD` > `Shares` > `Shared by me` ![POSTLAB CLOUD > Shares > Shared by me](/files/-MYHIo6f4t1Qai1B0ZbE) Any `Productions` shared with you will appear here: `POSTLAB CLOUD > Shares > Shared with me` ### How do I change my Team Name? You can rename your Team through `Preferences... > Account > TEAMS > ⚙️ / (⋯) > Change Team Name`. Click the action button, then choose `Change Team Name`. ![](/files/-MUJEcfBqToWW7W41Cjx) {% hint style="danger" %} Only Team Owners can change the Team Name. {% endhint %} ### How do I change the name or email address of an existing Team Member? While PostLab doesn't allow you to change a Team Member's name or email address in-app, you can: 1. [Remove any unwanted Team Member(s).](#how-do-i-remove-a-team-member) 2. [Add any new Team Member(s).](#add-team-members) Any remaining unused time from the removed Team Member(s) is credited back to your PostLab account, which will be applied to your new Team Member(s). [PostLab manages all of this in the background for you.](#billing) ### How do I change the Team Owner? If the need arises, reach out: {% hint style="info" %} [The Team Owner is different than a Team Member with an `Owner` Role.](#owner) {% endhint %} ### How do I remove a Team Member? In PostLab, go to `POSTLAB CLOUD` > `Teams`. In the Info & Options panel, go to `ABOUT` > `(N) Members`. ![ Info & Options Panel > ABOUT > (N) Members.](/files/-MVT5OSxITYAnNyeonYd) Click `🗑` to remove a Team Member: ![Team Members > 🗑 ](/files/-MVT5ag655ymOaSJvszg) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
