# Manage Member Accounts in Pigment

Managing Pigment Members and their accounts is straightforward. This article describes how to add new Members, as well as modify the current Member setup.

## Add new Members

> [!WARNING]
> **⚠️ Important**
> 
> You must have a Workspace Admin, Security Admin, or Primary Owner account type to invite new Members to an Application.

You can add Members individually by email and name or through a bulk import using a CSV file. It is also possible to add Members by using Groups. For more information, see [Introduction to Groups](/v1/docs/introduction-to-groups).

Members can have one of three statuses:

- **Pending.** The account is pending until the Member confirms their email.
- **Activated.** The Member has confirmed their account and is active.
- **Deactivated.** The account is deactivated, removing access to Pigment. To deactivate a Member, select the three-dot menu next to their name. Deactivated Members' contributions remain part of your history log.

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ **Important**
> 
> An account type must be assigned to all new Members added individually. You don’t need to assign new Members to a Group.

### Add individual Members

To add new Members individually:

1. On the Workspace homepage, select **Settings** in the sidebar. This opens the **Members management** page in Workspace Settings.
2. Select the **+ Invite new Members** button in the top right corner.
3. In the Invite **new Members** pane, fill in the required fields:
  - **Username**
  - **Email**
  - **Account type** (Standard Member, Primary Owner, Workspace Admin, or Security Admin)
  - **Group(s)** (optional)

1. Select **Send invitation by email**.

### Add Members through CSV

To add multiple members using a CSV file:

1. Format your CSV file with **Name**, **Email**, and **Account Type** headers. A sample CSV template is available for download in the **Invite members** pane.
2. Select **Select a file** to upload your CSV.
3. Select **Next**.
4. Select **Send invitation by email**.

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ **Important**
> 
> New Members are automatically assigned the Standard User account type. You can edit this later.

## View Member details

Primary Owners, Workspace Admins and Security Admins can review a Member’s access and account type by doing the following:

1. Open Workspace Settings,
2. Select **View details** next to the Member's name. Here you can review the following Member information:
  - Group
  - Status
  - Account type
  - License type
  - Application access
  - Last Workspace access
3. *(Optional)* Edit or deactivate the Member’s account using the **Edit** or **Deactivate** buttons (see below).

## Edit or transfer a Member’s account

Primary Owners, Workspace Admins and Security Admins can adjust a Member’s name and transfer their account type.

To do this:

1. Open the Workspace Settings,
2. Select the three-dot menu next to the Member's name.
3. Select **Edit Member’s details**.
4. Update the Member’s name or account type.

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ **Important** Changing the account type may change the Member’s license type. For more information, see [Current Pigment License Types](/v1/docs/pigment-license-types).

## Deactivate a Member’s account

Primary Owners, Workspace Admins and Security Admins can deactivate a Member’s account type.

> [!NOTE]
> ℹ️ **Note**
> 
> Before deactivating a Member, consider the following:
> 
> - Does the Member own API keys?
> - Is the Member the owner of scheduled imports?
> 
> For more information on how to prepare for Member deactivation, see [Switch your Admin Account Type.](/v1/docs/switch-admin-account-type)

To do this:

1. Open Workspace Settings.
2. Select the three-dot menu next to the Member's name.
3. Select **Deactivate**. Pigment prompts you with a list of the Member’s Applications.
4. Select a new Member to transfer account ownership.
5. Select **Deactivate**. The deactivated Member remains in the Members list with a Deactivated status. You can reactivate it from the menu if necessary.

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ Important
> 
> It's possible for a Member to have multiple accounts using different emails or aliases. We recommend double-checking to ensure the Member you want to remove doesn't have any additional accounts.
