Bringing a colleague into Togetherly takes about a minute. You add them by email, and at the same time you decide what they're allowed to do — including whether safeguarding alerts land in their inbox.

## Before you start

- Admin access to the account you're adding them to.
- The email address you want their invitation to go to.
- Their full name, as you'd like it to appear in Togetherly.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open the Team page

Open the admin menu — the gear icon at the top right of any page — and choose **Settings**.

You'll land on the **Team** page, which lists everyone who can currently access your account.

### Step 2: Start a new team member

Choose **New team member** at the top of the page.

A short form opens over the list, ready for their details.

### Step 3: Add their details and permissions

Type their **Full name**, then their **Email address**.

Under **Options**, turn on **Receive safeguarding alert notifications.** to send them a heads-up whenever a call raises a concern, and **Can administer the account.** if they should also manage team members and account settings. If you're not sure, leave both off — you can change them later.

### Step 4: Send the invitation

Choose **Add team member** to finish.

They'll appear in the list straight away, and we'll email them a link to activate their account.

## Tips

- Leave both switches off if they only need to run sessions — they'll still be able to host calls and see your contacts.
- To change someone's permissions later, choose **Edit** next to their name on the **Team** page.
- If the email address is already on your team, Togetherly will tell you rather than creating a duplicate.

## Summary

That's it — they're on the team. Your new team member will get an activation email, and you can fine-tune what they can do at any time from the **Team** page.
