New members are invited directly into a specific workspace, with a role assigned at the time of invitation. This article covers the invitation flow and what happens on the invitee's side.
Sending an invitation
From workspace settings, an admin can invite a new member by email and assign their initial role. The invitee receives an email with a link to accept and set up their account, or to sign in if they already have one.
Inviting someone who already has an account
If the person you're inviting already has a Coefficient account tied to their email, accepting the invitation simply adds the new workspace to their existing account — they don't need to create a separate login. Their role in this workspace is independent of any role they hold in other workspaces they belong to.
Changing or revoking access
A member's role can be changed at any time from workspace settings, and access can be revoked entirely if someone should no longer have access to a workspace. Revoking access is immediate and applies only to that specific workspace, not to any other workspace the person may belong to.
