How do I manage my coworking space team?

Go to Team in your space admin panel to add staff (who can edit space info, manage jobs and members) or admins (full control). Staff can be removed; admins cannot.

Team Management Overview

The Team section in your space admin panel is specifically for managing people who have administrative access to your space. This is different from the Members section, which manages your community members (coworkers).

Accessing Team Management

To access the Team section:

  1. Navigate to your space admin panel
  2. Click “Team” in the left navigation menu
  3. You’ll see a list of all team members with admin access

Understanding Team vs Members

It’s important to distinguish between:

  • Team Section - For managing administrative staff (people who can edit space information)
  • Members Section - For managing community members (coworkers who use your space)

For information about managing community members, see our Space Members Management guide.

Team Member Types

There are two types of team members with administrative access:

Admins (Owners)

  • Full Control - Complete access to all space settings and features
  • Ownership - Typically the space owner or primary administrator
  • Permissions - Can manage all aspects of the space, including team members
  • Cannot be Removed - Admins are permanent and cannot be deleted by other team members

Staff (Team Members)

  • Edit Access - Can update space information and manage content
  • Limited Permissions - Can manage jobs, members, and space details
  • No Team Management - Cannot add or remove other team members
  • Removable - Can be removed by admins if needed

Adding Team Members

To add a new team member:

  1. Navigate to the Team section
  2. Look for the “Add Team Member” option
  3. Enter the person’s email address or username
  4. Select their role (Staff)
  5. Send the invitation

The invited person will receive an email notification and can accept the invitation to gain admin access.
