# Invite collaborators to your CineFlow project

> Add team members to your CineFlow projects, manage their roles, and control access, all from the Collaborators tab in project Settings.

## Plan limits

The number of collaborators you can invite depends on your subscription plan. Each limit applies per project.

| Plan | Collaborators included |
| ---- | ---------------------- |
| Free | 0 (no collaborators)   |
| Solo | 1                      |
| Team | 5                      |
| Pro  | 10                     |

<Tip>
  If you need more seats than your plan includes, you can purchase additional collaborator seat add-ons from **Settings → Billing**.
</Tip>

## Inviting someone to a project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    In the sidebar, click **Settings**, then select the **Collaborators** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the collaborator's email">
    Under **Invite collaborator**, type the email address of the person you want to invite.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a role">
    Select a role from the dropdown. See [Roles and permissions](#roles-and-permissions) below for a description of each role.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set page permissions (optional)">
    You can restrict a collaborator's access to specific sections of the project, for example, give a vendor access to the Gear page only, or give talent access to Callsheets without exposing the Script or Finance module.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invite">
    Click **Send invite**. CineFlow sends an invitation email to that address immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Only project owners and admins can send invitations. If you don't see the invite form, you may not have admin access to this project.
</Note>

## How the invite works for the recipient

When someone receives a CineFlow invitation:

1. They get an email from CineFlow with a link to accept or decline.
2. Clicking the link takes them to the invite acceptance page. If they aren't signed in, they're redirected to sign in first and then back to the invite.
3. They see the project name, your name, and the role they've been assigned.
4. They can click **Accept** to join the project immediately, or **Decline** to dismiss the invite.

Pending invitations expire automatically. You can see the expiry date for each pending invite in the **Pending invites** section of the Collaborators tab.

## Roles and permissions

CineFlow has three assignable roles. You can change a collaborator's role at any time from the Collaborators tab.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Admin" icon="shield">
    Can invite and remove other collaborators, change roles, and access all project content.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Editor" icon="pencil">
    Can view and edit project content. Cannot manage other collaborators.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Viewer" icon="eye">
    Read-only access to project content. Cannot make changes.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The project owner always has full control and cannot be removed or have their role changed by other collaborators.
</Note>

## Managing existing collaborators

### Changing a role

In the **Members** table on the Collaborators tab, use the role dropdown next to any collaborator's name to change their role. The change takes effect immediately.

### Removing a collaborator

Click the remove button (the X icon) next to a collaborator's name. This immediately revokes their access to the project.

### Revoking a pending invite

If someone hasn't accepted their invite yet, they appear under **Pending invites**. Click **Revoke** to cancel the invite before it's accepted.

## Leaving a project you've joined

If you've been added to someone else's project and want to leave it:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Go to **Settings** and select the **Collaborators** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the project">
    Scroll to the **Projects I've joined** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Leave the project">
    Hover over the project row and click **Leave**. You're removed immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Leaving a project is immediate and cannot be undone from your side. The project owner would need to re-invite you if you want access again.
</Warning>
