Invite a teammate

The person needs an ARMANOS account of their own, signed up with the address you are about to type. Nothing here can prove that an address belongs to somebody, so the account has to exist first. If the person has no account, the Create a login button next to the invite makes a login that belongs to the team: you set and reset its password yourself.

You also need a free seat. Seats come with the plan, the owner takes one of them, and a plan without team seats refuses the invite and says so.

Only an owner or an admin sees these controls. For everyone else the Members screen is a list to read.

For Admin and Manager, confirm with your password.

1. 1

   Open the Members screen

   Members in the left column, under Team.

2. 2

   Press Invite member

   The button above the list of members.

3. 3

   Type the address

   The Email field in the Invite a teammate window.

4. 4

   Pick the role

   The Role picker in the same window.

5. 5

   Press Send invite

   The button at the bottom of that window.

What comes back is a link and a short code, either of which lets the person join. You hand it over yourself, through whatever channel you already use with them.

Invites you made on this computer sit in a list below, and each one drops off when that person joins. Revoke on a row withdraws the invite. Without a connection to the server, Remove stands in its place: it only takes the line off, and the link keeps working.

The role is chosen at the invite and can be changed afterwards from the member's row.

• Owner

  Everything, and cannot be removed from the workspace.

• Admin

  Billing, the team, the history log, other people's profiles and devices.

• Manager

  Shared working things as well: groups and the proxy library, to create, edit and delete.

• Operator and Member

  The profiles they were given, at the access level you chose, and nothing shared.

You can see how many of the plan's seats are taken, and the owner holds one of them. A seat is counted when the invite is issued, not only when it is accepted, so an unanswered invite cannot hand the same seat to a second person.

Acceptance is settled in one locked step, so two people cannot both take the last seat at the same moment.

Profiles a person created before joining stay theirs: the team's profile allowance does not count them, they count against the person's own plan. If there are more of them than that plan allows, the extra ones will not open until the person upgrades or deletes some of them.

Removing a member and a member leaving on their own end the same way. Shared access disappears in both directions, their devices are dropped, and any outstanding invite to that address is burnt. A team login cannot leave on its own, and when removed it is closed for good: nobody can sign in with it again.

Profiles they created after joining move to you. The ones they take away lose the proxy from the shared library behind them, so your working addresses do not walk out of the door.

Someone who already belongs to another team, or runs one with people, can still accept: their own workspace stays theirs, and in yours they work in the role you picked. Nobody joins one workspace twice, and a person has up to 50 workspaces, their own included.

In the app the account's workspaces sit in the corner menu under Workspaces of this account, marked your own and now. Picking another reopens the app in it, with that workspace's own list of profiles. Signing in without a choice opens the default one: the new team for someone joining their first team, otherwise the previous workspace.

In the dashboard the workspace is picked in the Workspace row under the title, and the Default workspace card sits in the account settings.

The Account screen of the app shows the Workspace ID row with a Copy button, for support or an API request. A person leaves the workspace open for them, never their own, and the app then shows the list of where they now work. Removed, or left from another computer: the app open in that workspace says it is no longer available and shows no profiles from other workspaces.
