# Your team and roles

**Team** is the short list of people who **run** the employer workspace — your operators. It is not
a staff directory. The people you employ are invited from
[Workforce](/workforce/people/invite-workers/) and never appear here.

Team lives at [**Settings → Team**](https://my.lexpoint.io/employer/settings/team).

## The two roles

| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| **Owner** | Everything HR can do, plus invite and remove operators, change roles, and connect the Google Workspace directory |
| **HR** | Run the workforce: invite employees, keep employment records, handle letter requests and leave, set workforce policies, and open reports |

Anyone can be both an operator and an employee of the same business. Those are two separate
records: an operator seat here, and a workforce connection in their own account.

## Invite a colleague

Only an owner sees **Invite a colleague**.

1. Enter their work email.
2. Choose **HR** or **Owner**. **HR** is selected by default.
3. Select **Invite**.

Lexpoint emails them an invitation, and the page shows *Invite created. Share this link:* with a
**Copy** button, in case you want to send the link yourself. The invitation expires in 14 days.

Open invitations are listed under **Pending invites** with the role and expiry date. **Copy link**
copies the link again. **Revoke** cancels it after you confirm.

## Change a role or remove someone

Each operator row shows their name, email, and identity state: **Identity confirmed**,
**Identity check in progress**, or **Identity not confirmed**. On your own row, **Confirm identity**
takes you to the identity check.

As an owner, you can:

- **Change a role** with the menu on the row. Making someone an owner asks you to confirm that they
  will be able to invite and change roles. Changing an owner to HR confirms that they keep workforce
  access and lose team admin.
- **Remove** someone. After you confirm, they lose access to the employer workspace.

You cannot change your own role or remove yourself. The only owner shows **Last owner** and cannot
be changed or removed until there is a second owner.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I add an employee to the team so they can see the company workspace?

No. Team is only for the people who run the workspace. Employees are invited from Workforce, and everything they do happens in their own Lexpoint account.

### How long does a team invitation last?

14 days. The expiry date shows under Pending invites. Revoke it and send a new one if it lapses.

### Can the last owner be removed?

No. The only owner cannot be removed or changed to HR. Make someone else an owner first.
