Member Management

Organization admins and owners can invite team members, assign roles, and manage access to experiments and data.

Organization Roles

HyperStudy uses four roles to control access within organizations:

Role	Experiments	Members	Settings	Billing
Owner	Full access	Full control	Full access	Full access
Admin	Full access	Can invite & remove	Can edit	View only
Member	Own experiments only	View only	View only	No access
Guest	Shared only	No access	No access	No access

• Only one owner per organization

Inviting Members

To invite a new member to your organization:

1. Go to Settings > Organizations
2. Select your organization
3. Click the Members tab
4. Click Invite Member
5. Enter the user's email address
6. Select a role for the new member
7. Click Send Invitation

The invited user will receive an email with instructions to join your organization.

note

Invited users must have a HyperStudy account. If they don't have one, they'll be prompted to create one when accepting the invitation.

Managing Existing Members

Viewing Members

The Members tab shows all current members with:

• Name and email
• Role
• Join date
• Last active date

Changing Roles

To change a member's role:

1. Find the member in the Members list
2. Click the role dropdown next to their name
3. Select the new role
4. Confirm the change

warning

Demoting an admin to member will remove their ability to manage organization settings and other members.

Removing Members

To remove a member from the organization:

1. Find the member in the Members list
2. Click the Remove button (trash icon)
3. Confirm the removal

When a member is removed:

• They lose access to all organization experiments
• Their personal experiments remain with them
• They can be re-invited later if needed

Transferring Ownership

Organization ownership can be transferred to another member:

1. Go to Settings > Organizations > Members
2. Find the member you want to transfer ownership to
3. Click the More Options menu (three dots)
4. Select Transfer Ownership
5. Confirm the transfer

After transfer:

• The previous owner becomes an Admin
• The new owner has full control
• Billing responsibility transfers to the new owner

danger

Ownership transfer is a significant action. Make sure you trust the new owner completely, as they will have full control over the organization including the ability to remove you.

Member Limits

The number of members you can have depends on your plan:

Plan	Member Limit
Free	1 (owner only)
Pro	5 members
Enterprise	Unlimited

If you need more members, consider upgrading your plan.

Best Practices

Role Assignment

• Give members the minimum access they need
• Reserve Admin roles for trusted team leads
• Use Guest access for temporary collaborators

Regular Audits

• Review member list periodically
• Remove members who no longer need access
• Verify role assignments are still appropriate

Onboarding

• Share organization guidelines with new members
• Point them to relevant experiment documentation
• Set expectations for experiment naming and organization
