# Inviting Your Teammates

Adding teammates to a respond.io Workspace allows the team to collaborate on conversations, share Inbox access, and distribute workload. Users can be assigned different access levels and organized into Teams.

## How to add a user to the Workspace

1. Navigate to **Settings** \> **Workspace Settings** \> **User settings**.

2. Click **Add User**.
3. Enter the teammate's email address.

4. Select an access level (Owner, Manager, or Agent).
5. Click **Add**.

An email invitation is sent to the new user. They must click the link in the email to accept and register if they do not have a respond.io account.
