Overview#
A Team is the basic unit for managing assets and collaborating in DeepSafe. Roles separate responsibilities: the Team Creator establishes the Team and holds all permissions, Admins vote on key Team decisions, and Members act through the permissions granted to them.Member management is available in the app only; the Web Console does not support it.Member roles#
Team Creator — the member who created the Team, holding all Team permissions. The Team Creator role cannot be transferred.Admin — holds all Member permissions and votes on key Team decisions. Admin permissions are fixed: they are not configured when inviting and cannot be adjusted afterward. The number of Admins is set when you first invite them, from 2 to 7 including the Team Creator, and cannot be changed later.Member — the inviter sets their permission scope, which can be adjusted after they join. See Roles & Permissions for the individual permissions and what they cover.Inviting members#
Choose the invitation type first — Member or Admin — then enter the invitee's email address. You can enter several addresses at once; everyone in a single batch receives the same member type.1.
The inviter selects the invitation type, enters the email addresses, and sends the invitation.
2.
The invitee accepts, generates a security certificate in their own app, and sends it to the inviter.
3.
The inviter reviews the member's details in pending approvals, sets the permission scope for a Member, and completes verification.
4.
The member appears in the member list as Joined.
The security certificate confirms that the invitee is who they claim to be. It can be shared by QR code or as copied text. This step is required and cannot be skipped.Member status and removal#
Members who have not completed joining show as Pending. You can cancel the invitation at this stage, which invalidates it immediately.Members who have joined can be removed from the Team. Removal is a key Team decision and takes effect only after Admins approve it under your Team's Decision Mode. Once a member is removed, the key shard they held is invalidated and they can no longer view the Team's historical data.Things to note#
Inviting an Admin is irreversible, and its effects go beyond that one member.Admin permissions are fixed at full scope. After the invitation completes, you cannot narrow their permissions or demote them to Member, and the number of Admins cannot be changed once set. More significantly, inviting an Admin moves your Team into multi-admin governance, which cannot be reverted to sole decision-making by the Team Creator.Confirm both your choice of Admins and their number before inviting, and confirm that your Team genuinely needs multi-admin governance.The Team Creator role cannot be transferred. Keep that account and its device secure.Modified at 2026-08-26 02:51:05
