# Invite members
|
|
|
|
In order to see a project and work in it, you have to be a member of a project. Therefore, you have to **add team members to a project**.
|
|
|
|
<div class="glossary">
|
|
**Member** is defined as a project member in a project. Project members are added in the members tab in the project settings.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
|
|
**Note**: If you are not a member of a project, you do not see the project in the Project selection nor in the project list.
|
|
</div>

## View members
|
|
|
|
To view the list of **all project members and their roles** in the project, select Members in the project menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Add existing members
|
|
|
|
To add existing users or groups to a project, [select the project](../projects/#select-a-project) where you want to add members. In the project menu on the left, select the **Members** menu item.
|
|
|
|
In the Members list you will get an overview of the current members of this project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click the green **+ Member** button in the top right corner.
|
|
|
|
Type the name of the team member or group which you want to add. You can also choose several members at once. **Assign a role** to the new member(s) and click the blue **Add** button.
|
|
|
|
Please note that you will have to click on the new member's name or press the Enter key before clicking in the Add button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Invite new members
|
|
|
|
You can also invite new members who have not yet an OpenProject account. [Select the project](../projects/#select-a-project) where you want to add members. In the project menu on the left, select the **Members** menu item.
|
|
|
|
Type in the email address of the new member. If OpenProject does not find an existing user, the **Invite** information will automatically be put before the email address. Press the Enter key or select the text "Invite ...". Assign a role to this new member and click the blue **Add** button.
|
|
|
|
An email invitation will be sent out to the user with a link to [create an account](../sign-in-registration/#create-a-new-account) for OpenProject.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now collaborate with your team in OpenProject.

## Behavior of groups as project members
|
|
|
|
Groups have the following impact on a project members list and behave slightly different than individual users:
|
|
|
|
- the group shows as a separate line on the project members list
|
|
- the group members cannot be removed from the members list individually (no delete icon)
|
|
- adding a group with members who are already in a project member list will add the group's role to their (the members') project roles
|
|
- a project member belonging to a group can have additional roles added individually
|
|
- the group role cannot be changed for individual group members
|
|
|
|
Find out more about the management of groups [here](../../system-admin-guide/users-permissions/groups/).
