Inviting collaborators

Manage your team from the Team page of any site (Settings → Team). If you have Manage Members permission, you'll see controls for inviting, removing, and editing collaborators. Everyone else sees the team list in read-only mode.

Sending an invite​

  1. Open Settings → Team.
  2. Click Invite Member.
  3. Enter the recipient's email and pick a role. Admin is selected by default — you can also pick Editor, Viewer, Data Analytics, or Custom.
  4. If you picked Custom, tick the specific permissions you want them to have.
  5. Click Send Invite. Urumi emails them a link to accept.

Pending invitations show up under Pending Invitations on the Team page until the recipient accepts. From there you can resend the email or revoke the invitation if you change your mind.

What the invitee sees​

When the recipient clicks the link, they go through a quick sign-up (or sign-in, if they already have a Urumi account) and are dropped straight into the site with the role you assigned.

Invitations are valid for 24 hours. If they don't act in time, the link expires — just resend it and they'll get a fresh 24-hour window.

Editing an existing collaborator​

On the Team page, click a member's row to expand it and see their current permissions. The Owner row is read-only; everyone else can be edited:

  • Change their role — pick a different preset (Admin, Editor, Viewer, Data Analytics) and they'll be switched over.
  • Tweak individual permissions — tick or untick specific permissions in the expanded panel. The role label automatically becomes "Custom" as soon as the selection no longer matches a preset, and snaps back to the preset name if you land on an exact match.
  • Remove them from the site — click the trash icon. They lose access immediately.

You can also expand your own row to adjust your own permissions — useful when you want to narrow your access, like opting out of the ability to clear production cache.

What Manage Members lets you do​

Holding Manage Members gives you broad authority over the team:

  • Invite collaborators at any role short of Owner — Admin, Editor, Viewer, Data Analytics, or Custom.
  • Adjust any non-Owner collaborator's permissions to any combination you choose, including permissions you don't hold yourself.
  • Remove any non-Owner collaborator.

The only things off-limits are promoting someone to Owner and granting Owner-only permissions (Site settings, Custom domains, GitHub integration) — those are reserved for whoever owns the site. If you try to do either, the dashboard will show a permission error and won't save the change. Ownership transfer isn't a self-service flow today; contact Urumi support if you need to change site ownership.

Owner-only actions​

Three things stay with the Owner no matter how you customise a role:

  • Editing site settings
  • Managing custom domains
  • Connecting or disconnecting GitHub

These are filtered out of the Custom permissions picker — you'll see they're not available to tick. If a collaborator needs them, they have to be the Owner. Ownership transfer isn't self-service today — contact Urumi support if you need to hand off ownership of a site.
