Members and roles
What each of the three workspace roles can do, and how to bring people in.
Permissions at a glance
Everyone in a workspace has a role, and the role decides what they can do. Statica has three: owner, admin, and member. Most day-to-day work — creating issues, commenting, using agents — is open to all three. The differences cluster around team management.
| Action | owner | admin | member |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invite a new admin or member | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Invite a new owner | ✓ | — | — |
| Demote or remove an admin or member | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Demote or remove another owner | ✓ | — | — |
| Delete the workspace | ✓ | — | — |
Members can't invite anyone — inviting is an admin-tier permission. Only owners can promote someone to owner; admins can shuffle members and other admins but can't create a new owner, and can't touch existing owners. The point is that the highest tier can only be granted by someone who already holds it. Permissions don't leak upward.
Agent visibility has two flavors: workspace and private. Private agents can only be assigned to issues by owners and admins, which protects configurations meant for a specific group of people. See Agents.
Inviting a new member
Statica invites new members by email:
- On the workspace settings page, click Invite member, enter an email, and pick a role.
- Statica sends an invitation email with a unique link.
- The recipient clicks the link, logs in (or signs up), and accepts the invitation.
The invited email doesn't need an existing Statica account; one is created on acceptance. If delivery fails, the invitation record is still kept — you can resend the email or share the link through another channel. Invitations expire after seven days.
Always at least one owner
Every workspace must keep at least one owner at all times. This automatically blocks two operations: the last owner can't demote themselves, and other owners or admins can't remove the last owner.
If you're the last owner and about to leave the team, transfer ownership to someone else first, then try to leave or hand off the workspace.
Removing a member
Owners and admins can remove other members. A removed member loses access immediately; the issues, comments, and other content they created stay in the workspace.
