Copy the newly generated invite link and share it with your team wherever they are. They can join up to Air when they get ready.

Changing User’s Access Levels
👀 Access and pricing alert!
A user with access to this function on Air can alter access levels to roles at or below their own. Depending on your Air subscription plan, this may lead to added charges to your next invoice.
Active user roles are not permanent. They can be changed at any point by users who have access. Here's how:
Members
Head over to your workspace member settings and locate the member whose access level needs to change
Select their access level to reveal a dropdown menu
Select their new access level
Guests
Head over to your workspace member settings and locate the member you need to update from your user list
Select the board count showing next to their user information
Select the access level for the board the guest user is linked to
Select their new access level
Converting Guests to Full Members
Guest users can switched to full members of your workspace. Converting a user from a board guest to a member will give them access to the entire workspace as a member and your bill will be updated accordingly. Here's how to get this done:
Head over to your workspace member settings and locate the member you need to remove from your user list
Select the board count showing next to their user information
From the modal for the guest user select the edit menu (three dots) next to their user information
Select 'Convert to full member'
Select the access level from the drop down options
Select 'Update'
The next time the new member logs in to Air, their interface will change slightly to align with their new user role.
Reactivating Inactive Members
Bringing back members to active on your workspace is a breeze. Here are the steps to take:
Head over to your workspace member settings and select the 'Show' button from the Inactive members section
Locate the member you need to reactivate from inactive members list
Select their access level to reveal a dropdown menu
If the user being reactivated should have a different access level, this change can be made prior to reactivating the user
Select 'Reactivate'
