# Inviting Collaborators
Sometimes it takes a team! If you'd like to invite authors or additional staff, you can invite them via their email through the Users account tab.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Before inviting authors or additional staff to your Mavenseed site, be sure to have a site email added under Settings > Communication tab.
{% endhint %}
Access to your site is determined by something called a role. When you invite someone to your site, you can give them a role of either **staff**, or **author**.

| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Staff | Can view, create, edit, update, and delete content. |
| Author | Can only edit the content they are an author of.
Cannot access site admin.

The invited member will receive an email with your logo, and button to claim their invitation. An *e.g. email is used below for our CG Cookie project.*
Clicking the Claim Invitation button will bring the invitee to a Create an Account page. Once their account is created they will be added to your site, and listed as a user on the invite page.
An Unclaimed status will be show if the invited user has not claimed their invite. Clicking the link icon will also enable you to copy/paste the invite link directly in a chat communication or email with the invitee.
