Members
Invite teammates, auto-approve a company email domain, manage roles, and remove access when needed.
Use the members page to control who can access your organization namespace.
Roles
Organizations have three roles: owner, admin, and member.
| Permission | Owner | Admin | Member |
|---|---|---|---|
| View and upload traces | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Share traces | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Invite teammates | Yes | Yes | No |
| Promote or demote members and admins | Yes | Yes | No |
| Remove members and admins | Yes | Yes | No |
| Manage org settings | Yes | Yes | No |
| Promote or demote owners | Yes | No | No |
| Change or remove an owner's membership | Yes | No | No |
| Manage billing (billing email) | Yes | No | No |
The person who creates the org starts as its owner.
The owner role
An owner is an admin who also holds the organization's billing. Owners can do everything admins can, plus:
- Set the org's billing email at
/<org-slug>/settings/billing. Only owners can see this page. - Make other members owners, or demote owners back to admin or member.
- Change or remove another owner's membership. Admins can manage members and other admins, but cannot touch owners.
An org can have more than one owner, and always keeps at least one: the last owner cannot be demoted, removed, or leave until another member has been made an owner.
Owners appear in the members list at /<org-slug>/settings/members.
Invite members
- Open
/<org-slug>/settings/members - Create an invite
- Share the invite link or code
Example invite link:
https://www.traces.com/invite/A1B2C3D4ETimed invites expire after 7 days. New members join with the member role by default.
Auto-approve an email domain
Instead of inviting each teammate, an admin can claim the organization's email domain so anyone who signs in with a verified email on that domain joins automatically.
- Open
/<org-slug>/settings/members - Under Auto-approve an email domain, enter the domain (for example
company.com) - Confirm Claim domain
Claiming requires a verified Google or GitHub identity on that domain linked to your own account — connect one from your account settings first. Public email providers, disposable email services, and public suffixes such as com or co.uk are rejected.
Once claimed:
- Matching is exact.
person@company.comjoins;person@team.company.comdoes not - Auto-approved users always join as member, never admin
- Joining does not switch anyone's active namespace — the org just becomes available in the switcher
- Existing users are not backfilled; they join on their next qualifying login or identity link
- Removing an auto-approved member blocks them from rejoining automatically
You can toggle auto-approval off and on from the same card. Disabling only stops future joins — current members keep access. The claimed domain itself is permanent; contact support to change it.
A domain can be claimed by only one organization, and each organization can claim one domain.
Change roles
Admins can promote members to admin or demote admins back to member.
Owners can additionally promote any member or admin to owner, and demote an owner to admin or member.
Use this carefully so your team always has at least one active admin. The org also always keeps at least one owner — promote another owner before stepping down from the last owner seat.
Remove members
Admins can remove any member or admin from the org settings page. Only owners can remove another owner.
- Removal is immediate
- Existing traces stay in the org namespace
- The last remaining admin cannot leave until another admin exists
- The last remaining owner cannot leave until another owner exists
Leave an organization yourself
Any member can leave from the same settings area, unless they are the last admin or the last owner.
Managing invites
Admins can revoke pending invites at any time from /<org-slug>/settings/members.
