Team Management
Invite team members, assign roles, and control who can access what in your workspace.
Inviting team members
- Go to Settings > Team or Company > Team Members
- Click Invite Member
- Enter the person's email address
- Choose a role (see below)
- Click Send Invitation
The invitee receives an email with a link to join your workspace. If they don't have a MyCompanyDesk account, they can create one during the process.
Roles
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to everything, including team and billing management |
| Member | Access to assigned features, cannot manage team or billing |
| Accountant | Read-only access with specific accounting views |
Admin
Admins can:
- Manage team members (invite, remove, change roles)
- Access billing and subscription settings
- Configure company settings
- Access all features
Member
Members have access to the features you assign them. Configure their permissions per feature.
Accountant
A special role for external accountants:
- View financial data (invoices, expenses, reports)
- Cannot create or modify records (by default)
- Specific permission set for audit purposes
Permissions
Fine-grained permissions let you control access per feature:
Page access
Choose which sections each member can see:
- Invoices
- Quotes
- Expenses
- Customers
- Projects
- Contracts
- Objects
- Time Registration
- Reports
- VAT
- Settings
Edit permissions
For each accessible page, choose whether the member can:
- View only — Read access, no modifications
- Edit — Full read/write access
Accountant contacts
Manage external accountant relationships:
- Go to Settings > Team > Accountants
- Click Add Accountant
- Enter their name and email
- Click Invite to send access
- Configure their specific permissions
Managing accountant access
- Invite — Send or resend the access invitation
- Revoke — Remove access (can be restored later)
- Restore — Re-enable previously revoked access
- Update permissions — Change what they can see
Switching workspaces
If you're a member of multiple workspaces (companies), switch between them:
- Click your account menu
- Select Switch Workspace
- Choose the workspace
Or create a new workspace from the same menu.
Tips
- Use the accountant role for your bookkeeper — it provides exactly the access they need
- Set member permissions thoughtfully — not everyone needs access to billing or team settings
- Review team access periodically, especially when team members change roles
INFO
Team management beyond 1 member requires the Pro plan. Unlimited members are available on the Business plan.
