# 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 | <p>Can only edit the content they are an author of. </p><p>Cannot access site admin.</p> |

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.*&#x20;

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.&#x20;

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.&#x20;
