# User Management

## Inviting Users to the Organization/Workspace

You can invite new users to your organization and assign them role-based access to a specific workspace. To do this, go to the **Organization > Users > Invite User**.

## Accepting Invitation

An invitation will be sent to the invited user’s email address. By clicking **Accept Invitation** and following the on-screen instructions, the user can successfully join the Organization and the Workspace.

If the user is already part of the Organization, they can review the invitation details and choose either:

* Join – to accept and become part of the workspace, or
* Dismiss – to decline the invitation

{% hint style="info" %}
Once the User has accepted to Join the Workspace, they will be moved to Active User's list
{% endhint %}

## Transfer Ownership

You can transfer the ownership of your Organization to any active user within the organization.

* Once the ownership is transferred, the new owner will automatically gain access to all workspaces.
* The current owner will be moved to an Admin role and will continue to have access to the workspaces they were already a part of.

{% hint style="info" %}
Ownership can be transferred even if the selected member is not part of all workspaces in the organization.
