# Manage the team

> Invite and add store members from server code.

In this guide, you'll learn how to manage a store's team from your own server
code. You can invite members, add them directly, and update their roles.

## Invite a member

`inviteSellerWorkflow` creates a `MemberInvite` and sends the invitation email.
The invitee sets up access and is linked to the store when they accept.

```ts title="src/api/custom/invite/route.ts" theme={null}
import type { MedusaRequest, MedusaResponse } from "@medusajs/framework/http"
import { inviteSellerWorkflow } from "@mercurjs/core/workflows"

export async function POST(req: MedusaRequest, res: MedusaResponse) {
  await inviteSellerWorkflow(req.scope).run({
    input: {
      email: "ops@acme.com",
      seller_id: req.params.id,
    },
  })

  res.sendStatus(200)
}
```

## Add a member directly

When you already have the user, for example during a migration, add them to a
store without the invite step. Use `addSellerMemberWorkflow`.

```ts theme={null}
import { addSellerMemberWorkflow } from "@mercurjs/core/workflows"

await addSellerMemberWorkflow(container).run({
  input: {
    seller_id: "sel_123",
    member: { email: "ops@acme.com" },
  },
})
```

<Tip>
  Every store must keep at least one admin member. A workflow that would remove or
  demote the last admin fails instead of leaving a store unadministered.
</Tip>

## Accept an invite

The invitee's acceptance runs through `acceptMemberInviteWorkflow`. It links the
member to the store, and if the email already exists, it reuses their account.
