Overview
This page covers the day-to-day work of giving people access: inviting a teammate, adding a user to your live app, and managing who has what. You pick from roles that already exist, so there’s nothing to build. If you instead need to create roles or decide what each one can do, that’s a separate job covered in Members & Roles. There are three kinds of people you’ll add, and each lives in a different place:| Who they are | Where they sign in | Add them under |
|---|---|---|
| Teammate / staff | The Stardeck dashboard, plus the apps their role allows | Organization Settings → Members |
| App user | Only your deployed app, never Stardeck | The app’s Settings → Deployment Users |
| Collaborator / developer | Builds and manages one app inside Stardeck | The app’s Settings → Project Members |
The public pages of a deployed app are open to anyone by default, so no invitation is needed. You
only invite people when they need to sign in to do something authenticated.
Inviting a teammate to your organization
Teammates are the people who work inside Stardeck with you. They sign in to the dashboard and use the apps their role allows.Open Members
Go to Settings → Members in your
organization dashboard.
Invite a member
Click Invite member, enter their email address, and choose the role they should get. If
you’re not sure, leave it on the default. Every organization has a “role for new members” that’s
applied automatically.
Which role should I pick?
Pick the closest fit from the roles your organization already has. You don’t need to understand every permission. The built-in ones:| Role | Good for |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access, including settings and billing. |
| Member | Standard team access, the usual choice. |
| Viewer | People who mostly need to look, not change things. |
Inviting teammates may require a plan that supports more than one user. If your plan is single-user,
you’ll see an upgrade prompt on the Members tab.
Giving a teammate access to a specific app
Some roles are App-only: the person can’t open the Stardeck dashboard and only uses the apps you assign them. It’s the setup for frontline staff like cashiers or drivers. (See App-only access for how it works.)Invite or find the member
Invite them with an App-only role (or pick an existing member on the Members tab).
Changing a role or removing someone
All from the same Members tab:- Change someone’s role — pick a different role from the dropdown next to them.
- Make someone an admin (or remove admin) — use the shield action on their row.
- Remove a teammate — revoke their access from their row. They lose dashboard and app access.
Inviting users to your deployed app
App users (also called Deployment Users) are the people who use your live app. They sign in to the app only, and never see Stardeck, your code, or your settings.Open the app's users
In the app, go to
Settings → Deployment Users.
Inviting a collaborator to help build an app
Collaborators (or Project Members) are people who help you build and manage one app inside Stardeck. They can touch its code, settings, and deploys. This is the right choice for an external developer, freelancer, or partner agency working on a single app. Invite them from the app’s Settings → Project Members.A Project Member works on one app. If you want someone to build across all your apps, invite
them as an organization teammate with a Team role instead (see above).
