# Workspace Settings
Your Workspace's settings can be accessed by navigating to **My workspace** / **Workspace Settings**.
Workspace settings—including user management—can only be managed through the UI, NOT using the SDK.
**To access Workspace settings:**
1. Click the drop-down at the top of the page after logging in to the Encord Platform.
2. Select the Workspace you want to work with under *Workspaces*.
3. Click **Workspace settings**.
The *Workspace setings* page appears.
## Users
The **Users** tab of your Workspace settings provides an overview of all your Workspace's users and their user roles.
### User Roles
Workspaces have several kinds of users. The following table outlines permissions for all user roles.
| Permissions | **Admin** | **Workforce Manager** | **Member** | **Tasker** |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | :-------: | :-------------------: | :--------: | :--------: |
| Add and remove users | ✅ | (Only Taskers) | ❌ | ❌ |
| View all Projects, Datasets, and Ontologies | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Create Projects, Datasets, and Ontologies | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Access Projects, Datasets, and Ontologies (if invited) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Create user groups | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Can see other Workspace members | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
In addition to having a user role within the Workspace, all users have distinct roles in [Projects](/platform-documentation/Annotate/roles-and-permissions#projects), [Datasets](/platform-documentation/Annotate/roles-and-permissions#datasets), and [Ontologies](https://docs.encord.com/platform-documentation/Annotate/roles-and-permissions#ontologies).
### Adding and Removing Users
Only Workspace Admins and Workforce managers have the ability to add users to, or remove users from, the Workspace.
Users belonging to your Workspace are managed on the *Users* tab of your Workspace settings dashboard. The *Users* tab displays by default when you navigate to your Workspace. All users belonging to your Workspace are listed on the *Users* tab.

Users can accept invitations from the email link or a notification on their Encord home screen. The email link always takes them to the Encord login page, regardless of whether they have an existing account.
Invitations that have not been accepted by the invitee can be resent by clicking the **Resend** button in the **Status** column.

Admins cannot be removed from a Workspace. To remove an Admin from your Workspace, contact [support@encord.com](mailto:support@encord.com).
### Accepting Invites
When a user is invited to join a Workspace, they need to accept the invitation sent to their email in order to join.
1. Open the Email.
2. Click **Accept invite**.
3. If you have not registered with Encord before, set up a password and add your name.
4. Accept the invitation to the Workspace.

The user's status shows the status of the invitation to your Workspace. Users can have the following status:
* **Invited**: Shows the date the user was invited to your Workspace. The invitation is pending.
* **Declined**: Shows the date the user declined the invitation to join your Workspace.
* **Joined**: Shows the date the user joined your Workspace.

## Groups
Groups are collections of members that are grouped together, allowing them to be added to Projects, Datasets, and Ontologies collectively. User groups are managed on the *Groups* tab of your Workspace settings's dashboard.
Only Workspace admins and [Workforce Managers](https://docs.encord.com/platform-documentation/Annotate/annotate-settings-general#workforce-manager) can create user groups.
### Group Managers and Members
The group managers feature is in BETA. To gain access to the group manager functionality, contact [support](mailto:support@encord.com).
User groups consist of **members**, **group managers**, or users who hold both roles.
| Role | Permissions |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspace Admins** | Can manage all groups and assign group managers. |
| **Group Managers** | Can add or remove users from their own groups but cannot manage other groups. If the group is added to a Project, the group manager does not automatically inherit the group's assigned role. |
| **Members** | Can be part of a group but cannot see who the group managers are. |
Group managers are useful for overseeing workforces. They can add or remove users from their assigned group without taking on the same user role as their workforce when the group is added to a Project. This allows for flexible team management without unnecessary role restrictions.
Only *Internal* Workspace members can be assigned as group managers.
