# People & invitations

Open **People** from the icon rail to see who is in the hive. From here you invite
new people and manage the ones already in.

## Invite someone

1. Choose **Invite people** and send an invitation by email.
2. The invitee sees it in **My SweetHive → Invitations** and accepts to join.
3. Once in, add them to the right [groups](/en/groups/) — until then they only see
   what the default membership allows.

## Manage a person

- **⋮ → Change groups** — adjust exactly what they can see, across all groups in one
  dialog.
- **Remove from hive** — revokes all their access at once.

## What a new member sees

Nothing, until a group they belong to is active on a context. This is by design:
you can safely invite a client or an external collaborator into the hive, and they
will only ever see the contexts you open to their group.

> **Tip:** invite first, then place. It's normal for a new member to see an almost
> empty hive until you've added them to their groups.
