People and roles
Invite people with a link or by email, and choose what they can do. Owner, Admin and Member, who can change roles, and why the last owner can't leave.
Updated
Everyone in a workspace has one role: Owner, Admin or Member. The person who creates the workspace is its first owner.

Admin powers belong to the person. An API key never has them, even one an admin created: it can't delete other people's messages, rename or archive channels, invite people, change roles or manage webhooks, API keys, AI agents and integrations. Admins manage the channels they can see: to rename or archive a private channel, to give it a webhook or an AI agent, or to create an invite link to it, they need to be in it.
Invite people
There are two ways to invite people: an invite link that anyone can use, or an email invite for one address.
Share an invite link
New in November 2026- Choose + → Invite people. To invite people straight to a channel, open the channel and choose the person icon at the top right (Invite people to #channel, on wider screens).
- Copy the link under Send an invite link and share it in a chat or an email.
- To change it, choose Edit invite link, pick Expire after (1 day, 7 days, 30 days or Never) and Max uses (no limit, or 1 to 100 uses), then Generate a new link.
How invite links work:
- Anyone with the link can join as a Member. They sign in first with Google or an email code; people new to Fishcamp get an account that way.
- A link to a channel also adds them to that channel, even a private one, and opens it. The timeline shows that they "joined with an invite link".
- By default a link lasts 30 days, with no limit of uses. Opening Invite people again shows the same link while it still has almost all of its time (and, with a limit of uses, before anyone used it), so you don't pile up links.
- People already in the workspace who open a link are just taken there, and it doesn't count as a use. The exception is a channel link with a limit of uses: joining the channel through it uses one.
- People → Invite links lists the active links, with their expiry and uses. Links to a private channel only show up for admins who are in it. Turn off stops a link at once. Expired, used-up and turned-off links show "Ask the person who sent it for a new one".
Invite by email
- Choose People in the sidebar.
- Under Invite someone, type the email and choose Member or Admin.
- Choose Send invite.
Invite people also has Or invite by email, which invites as Member.
How email invites work:
- The invite is tied to the email address: only someone signed in with that address can accept it.
- The link is valid for 7 days. Inviting the same address again sends a fresh link for another 7 days, and the previous link stops working.
- If the email doesn't go out, Fishcamp shows the link so you can send it yourself. You can also copy it after a successful send.
- The person accepts by opening the link, or from Invites for you after signing in to Fishcamp with the invited address.
- Pending invites lists invites not yet accepted, with their expiry date. Revoke cancels one.
You can't invite someone who is already in the workspace. To make someone an owner, invite them first, then change their role.
Change a role or remove someone
In People → Members, admins see a role menu and Remove next to each person:
- Admins can switch people between Member and Admin, and remove members and admins.
- Only owners can promote someone to Owner, change another owner's role or remove an owner.
- Removing someone takes them out of every channel of the workspace. Their past messages stay. If they're in an audio room at that moment, they stay connected until they leave it.
The last owner
A workspace always has at least one owner. If you're the only owner, you can't leave the workspace, be removed or be changed to another role. Promote someone else to Owner first.
