====== Add/Manage Members ======

//Wuala recommends that the administrator for your Business storage follows all instructions to create and manage your Company on Wuala.//

Each Wuala Business Group can have up to five members, including the administrator. Each member has a defined Role with specific rights (see [[manage-group#roles|Roles]] for member definitions).

===== Add Members to the Business Group (Recommended) =====

As the creator of the Wuala Business storage, the first user is the administrator. This leaves four available places within each Business Group. Invitations to join the company may be sent to existing Wuala users or to users that have yet to join. \\ \\ 

There are three options for inviting new members:
  * [[members#members-tab-create-a-new-wuala-account|Members Tab]] (Recommended) - Invite your colleagues to join the Wuala Company storage. This option is intuitive and very helpful when inviting users who do not have a Wuala personal account.
  * [[members#invite-members:-wuala-contact|Invite Members]] - Invite users who already have Wuala personal storage. (Alternative to the steps provided in [[members#members-tab-create-a-new-wuala-account|Members Tab]].)
  * [[manage-group#access|Access]] (Advanced Wuala users) - Send a weblink with the option to join the Business Group. The user must have a personal Wuala account.
