Administration
Organizations and members
Your workspace is the thing your repositories, settings and people belong to. The Organization tab is where you name it, invite people, change their roles and approve repositories moving in.
Inviting people, changing a role and renaming the workspace are admin tasks. Anyone can see who they are in the workspace with, and leave it.
#The four tabs
Organization
Manage your workspace, its members, pending invitations, and repository transfer requests.
A role is a set of permissions. Owners can rename or delete the workspace and transfer ownership; every other role grants exactly the modules it lists. Manage the permission matrix under Roles.
| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| General | The workspace name, its appearance, and deleting it. |
| Members | Everyone in the workspace, and what each of them can do. |
| Invitations | People invited who have yet to accept. |
| Repo transfers | Requests to move a repository into this workspace. |
#Inviting someone
Open Invitations and fill in Invite a teammate.
An Email and a Role. The role decides what they can do the moment they accept, and it can be changed afterwards.Choose Send invite.
The invitation appears under Pending invitations until they accept it, and you can revoke it from there.
Someone outside your identity provider can still be invited, because inline also signs people in by emailed link. See Connect GitHub for how sign-in works.
#Changing what someone can do
The button beside each person is their role. Open it and you see the roles you are allowed to grant, which is never more than you hold yourself.
Repository access… gives someone a different role on chosen repositories, so a person who is a Developer across the workspace can hold more on the one repository they own. Roles and permissions covers what each role grants.
Transfer ownership hands the workspace to someone else, and only an Owner sees it. Remove takes a person out of the workspace, and on your own row it reads Leave workspace instead.
#Repository transfers
When a repository moves between workspaces, the receiving workspace approves it. Repo transfers lists the requests waiting, and each is approved or denied there.
#The workspace itself
Workspace name on General renames it, and Appearance sets how it looks. Deleting the workspace is on the same tab and is limited to an Owner.
