Manage members
Change a role, disable somebody without removing them, remove them entirely, and transfer ownership.
The members list is under Settings > Members > Workspace members. Each row has a menu.
Change a role
Pick the new role and save. It applies immediately, and nothing they made is affected.
You cannot change the Owner's role from here, cannot change someone holding the same role as you, and cannot change your own. An Admin can only assign Billing Manager or User.
Disable
An access switch, not a deletion. A disabled member cannot sign in to the workspace, and everything they made stays exactly where it is.
Re-enabling is immediate: no new invitation, and no waiting for them to accept one.
This is the right action for somebody on leave, a contractor between phases, or anybody whose access should stop today and may resume. It also frees a seat on Starter, where disabled members do not count against the limit.
Status is color-coded in the list: green Active, orange Active with an end date for a member whose access expires, and red Disabled.
Remove
Revokes access immediately and takes the person out of the workspace. Their Screenly account is untouched and their other workspaces are unaffected.
To remove yourself, use Leave workspace on the Members page and type the workspace name to confirm. The Owner cannot leave without handing over ownership first.
Disabling is usually the better first move. It is reversible in one click; removing means a fresh invitation and waiting for them to accept.
Transfer ownership
There is exactly one Owner, so transferring means giving it up.
- Open the member's row menu and choose Change role.
- Select Owner.
- Type the workspace name to confirm.
The confirmation step is deliberate, because the action cannot be reversed by you afterwards. Your own role becomes Admin, and only the new Owner can transfer it back.
[!IMPORTANT] Do this before somebody leaves, not after. Recovering a workspace whose Owner is gone takes two to five days of identity verification, with no guaranteed maximum. See Support PIN and account recovery.
