# Settings and team

> Manage your company settings, team members, and account preferences.

The **Settings** section is where you manage your company account, team members, and platform preferences.

## Accessing settings

Click **Settings** at the bottom of the sidebar navigation.

## Team management

You can invite team members to your Commenda account so they can access your entities, compliance calendar, and other features based on their role.

### Inviting team members

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Click **Settings** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open team management">
    Navigate to the team or members section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite a member">
    Click **Invite** and enter the person's email address and role.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They accept the invite">
    The invited person receives an email with a link to join your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Managing existing members

From the team management page, you can:

* **Update name or role** — edit a member's display name or change their role between Company Admin and Company User
* **Remove members** — revoke a person's access to your account
* **View assignments** — see what each team member has access to

<Note>
  Every company must keep at least one Company Admin. If a member is the only admin on the company, you cannot change their role to Company User until you promote another member to Company Admin first.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Removing a team member immediately revokes their access to all company data. Make sure to reassign any tasks or responsibilities before removing someone.
</Warning>
