# Adding co-owners, team members and care helpers to your organization

Already have an organization page? Open it, find **Our Team** and select the pencil. Choose **Add someone**, pick a **Role**, then find the person by name or invite them by email or text. Their access starts when they accept.

Owners and co-owners can add people. Only the owner can add a co-owner or change a co-owner's access.

## Find Our Team

1. Select your picture at the top of any page, then your organization's name.
2. **Our Team** is near the top of the organization's page, above the **Posts** and **Animals** tabs. It isn't shown while another tab, such as **Animals**, is open.
3. Select the pencil beside **Our Team**. Only owners and co-owners see it.

## Choose a role

The pencil opens **People at** and your organization's name, with a guide to each role:

- **Organization co-owner:** helps run the organization, including its animals, records, profile and finances, and can manage Team Members and Care Helpers. Choose it only for someone you trust with money and your public page, such as a business partner.
- **Team Member:** works across the organization's animals and records, without the owner controls. This fits most farm hands and family members.
- **Care Helper:** sees the care they can mark done on **Today**, such as feeding, and can leave care notes. They can't browse records or manage animals, the organization or finances. This fits a neighbor or sitter covering chores.

## Invite someone

1. Select **Add someone**.
2. Pick a **Role**: **Co-owner**, **Team** or **Care Helper**.
3. Then add them one of these ways:
   - **Already on Creatures:** type their name under **Member**, pick them, and select **Add**. They also get a notification in Creatures.
   - **By email:** select **Invite by email**, enter their **Email** and **Name**, and select **Send invite**.
   - **By text:** select **Invite by text**, enter their **Phone** and **Name**, and check **I have this person's consent to text them about this invitation.** Then select **Send invite**. Texts go to US and Canadian numbers only.

If you pick **Care Helper**, you may also see **Care they can help with**, where you choose which care they'll see. See [Get help with daily care: invite a care helper](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/get-help-with-daily-care-invite-a-care-helper-19xf6gl/).

## What the person you invite sees

They open the link in the email, text or notification, which shows **Accept your Creatures invitation** with your organization and their role, and select **Accept invitation**. If they aren't signed in, they create an account or sign in with the email address or phone number you invited.

Team Members and co-owners then land on your organization's animals, and Care Helpers land on **Today**. You get a notification such as **Mateo Alvarez accepted access to Lindgren Heritage Genetics.** Their name appears under **Our Team**. Care Helpers get their own list, which isn't public.

## Keep track of pending invitations

Invitations wait under **Pending invitations** with the role, how each was sent and when. Each link works for 7 days.

- **To take one back:** select **Cancel**, then **Cancel invitation**. The link stops working.
- **If it expired or they can't find it:** cancel it and invite them again. Signing up on their own doesn't show them the invitation, so if they now have an account, add them by name. It then reaches their notifications too.
- **If you see This person has declined or left. You cannot invite them again right now.:** they turned down an invitation or left recently. Invitations from you are paused for 90 days. If they also chose to block you, the pause lasts until they lift it.

## Change a role, add a title or remove someone

Each person has their own row in the editor.

- **Change a role:** pick the new role in their row and select **Save**.
- **Add a title:** type a job title, such as "Herd manager," in **Title** and select **Save**. On the owner's row, the owner uses **Save title**. Co-owners need the owner to change their title. Titles show next to names under **Our Team**.
- **Remove someone:** select **Remove**, then **Remove access**.

Removing someone ends their organization access. Access you gave them to individual animals stays, and their row says so.

People you add can see and leave their access in **Settings** > **My access**. See [Seeing and leaving the accounts you can access](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/seeing-and-leaving-the-accounts-you-can-access-10zlabo/).
