Inviting a new user
Plan
Multi-user accounts are available to Pro and Business accounts.
Invite a new user to your account via the Members page. Add their email address and specify their role and the workspaces they can access. You must select at least one workspace to invite a user. You can later add or remove them from additional workspace(s).
Silent video of the Members settings page, which lists the name and email address of the current members on the team. The user clicks on the "Invite Member" button, which opens a new dialog. This dialog has an editable text field for email address, a select for user role, and a list of checkboxes, one for each workspace the current user has access to. By default, all of the workspaces are checked. Below is a note that reads "After the invite is accepted, an additional Business seat will be added to your subscription. See pricing information". The user types the email address of the new user, sets their role to "Admin", unchecks several workspaces, and then clicks the "Invite" button.

Roles
Parcel users can have one of the following roles: Admin, Developer, Editor, Billing, or Viewer. Billing and Viewer roles have limited access to Parcel and do not impact billing. Admin, Developer, and Editor roles do impact billing. The Admin, Developer, and Editor roles have full access to creating and editing in Parcel, but Admins can also manage workspaces, team members, and everything that Viewers and Billing can. Here is a breakdown of permissions by role:
Plan
You only pay for Admin, Developer, and Editor members. Billing and Viewer members are free.

Notifications
In the upper right corner of the left sidebar is the notifications menu, where notifications for the user are displayed. The badge number on the icon indicates the number of unseen notifications. Notifications are considered seen once they become visible in the notifications menu. New notifications are unread and will have a blue dot on the right side and colored text. Click on any notification to mark it as read, which will remove the blue dot and redirect you to the relevant page. The timestamp denotes when the relevant action occurred, which is not necessarily the time the notification was created. Notifications are sorted by timestamp descending.

The user clicks on the bell, revealing a list of notifications. The first notification reads "SUBSCRIPTION CREATED; Account is now on the Business plan. 15 days ago" and has a blue dot to the right. As the list of notifications is opened, the number on the bell disappears.
