# Users & Roles

> Invite teammates to your Bolto workspace and control what each role can see and do.

Manage who can access your company's Bolto workspace from **Administration → Users** (Owners only). This controls your admin team — the people running payroll, managing contractors, and approving time off — separate from the employees and contractors you pay, who get their own portal access automatically.

## Inviting a user

**Add user** takes a name, email, and role, and sends an invitation email. Pending invitations appear in the users table with an **Invited** status, where you can edit the role, copy the invite link, resend, or cancel. Active members can have their role changed or be removed.

## Roles

| Role                   | What they can do                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **Contractor Manager** | Day-to-day people operations: add employees and contractors, convert contractors, approve timesheets and time off, manage calendar holidays, make contractor payments, and assign tasks — no payroll approval, offer letters, or company administration |
| **Viewer**             | Read-only across the workspace — ideal for accountants or HR support who need visibility without edit rights                                                                                                                                            |
