Inviting team members and understanding roles

Invite advocates and staff, and learn the differences between Owner, Admin, Billing, and Member.

Written by Jason

Bring your colleagues into Gaveli so everyone works from the same cases and calendar. Each person has a role that controls what they can do.

Invite a team member

  1. Go to Settings → Members.

  2. Choose to invite a member and enter their email address.

  3. Pick their role — invitations can be sent as Member or Admin — and send the invitation.

  4. They'll get an email to join; once they accept, they appear in your team.

The roles

  • Owner — full control of the firm, including billing and deletion. Typically the person who created the firm.

  • Admin — manages the firm and team and has billing access, but can't delete the organization.

  • Billing — works on cases like a Member, and additionally has access to Billing, Invoices, and Analytics. Useful for an accountant or office manager who handles the money but shouldn't manage the team.

  • Member — works on cases, documents, tasks, and expenses, without access to billing, invoices, or analytics.

Changing a role

An Owner or Admin can change someone's role from Settings → Members using the role dropdown next to their name. Pick Billing to give them billing access without any team-management powers, or Admin to give them both.

Because invitations can only be sent as Member or Admin, the way to give a new teammate the Billing role is to invite them as a Member and then change their role once they've accepted.

The Owner's role can't be changed from the dropdown — it's shown as a fixed badge.

For what each billing-gated area covers, see Who can access billing.
