Manage people, roles, and access

Invite members, assign organization and company roles, and verify the work and records they can access.

Invite or update an organization member

Open Settings > Organization > Members. Invite a person’s work email or open an existing member.
Choose the organization role. Select the smallest role that supports the person’s organization-level job. Roles control actions; they do not by themselves grant every company or every record.
Assign companies and company roles. Add only the companies the person needs. Set the company role and any visible record scope shown in the form.
Send or renew the invitation. The person must accept before accessing the new organization. Someone who already uses Clerked can review the invitation from their existing account. A pending row shows Invited. During the resend cooldown it shows Sent just now, then Resend becomes available. If the address is already a member or matches your account, the form refuses the invitation inline.

Link a company person to a business identity

Open Settings > Company > People when an approver or other person must be linked to a synchronized employee record. Confirm the correct record with its identifier and company, not the display name alone.

Manage roles

Built-in system roles are read-only. Duplicate one when you need a custom permission set, then edit the custom role directly even after people or pending invitations reference it. Saved permission changes apply to server requests immediately; people who are already signed in may need to sign out and back in before every screen reflects the change.

Every active custom role is available for assignment. There is no separate role availability switch. A role that still has members or pending invitations cannot be deleted; move those references to another role first.

Verify effective access

Check three things separately: the action permission, the assigned companies, and the record visibility inside each company. Insights scope is also separate from invoice and email visibility. Remove membership when a person should no longer access the organization. Give each person their own account.
