# Collaborators

> Invite friends to build your bot with you.

Building is more fun with friends. **Collaborators** are people you invite to help with your bot. Open **Collaborators** under **Account** in the sidebar.

## The roles

Every collaborator has a **role**. The role decides what they can do.

| Role | What they can do |
| - | - |
| **Viewer** | Look at everything, change nothing. |
| **Operator** | Everything a Viewer can, plus start, stop and restart the bot, manage servers and look at stored data. |
| **Builder** | Everything an Operator can, plus make, edit and delete commands and events, and manage modules. |
| **Admin** | Everything a Builder can, plus change stored data, messages, integrations and webhooks, timed events, bot settings and profile, and invite people below Admin. |
| **Custom** | You tick exactly the permissions you want. You can save up to **10** of your own roles. |

For WhatsApp numbers, **Read and answer WhatsApp chats** (the Inbox) is part of Operator, Builder and Admin.

## Invite someone

There are two ways:

### With a link

1. Pick the **role**.
2. Pick when the link **expires**: never, 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days or 30 days.
3. Pick the **max uses**: how many people can use it.
4. Copy the link (or a ready-made message) and send it.

You can make a new link or turn the link off at any time.

### With their Discord ID

Type their Discord ID and pick a role. They get a notification in the **bell** with **Accept** and **Decline**. The invite expires after **7 days**.

## What collaborators can never do

To keep your bot safe, only **you** (the owner) can:

* see or change the **bot token**
* **delete** the bot
* handle **billing**, promo codes and the **plan**

**Secrets** are hidden from collaborators too.

## Other things on this page

* **Pending invites**: invites not accepted yet. You can have up to 10.
* **Activity log**: who changed what, and when. You can filter it.
* **Bots shared with you**: bots other people invited you to, with **Open** and **Leave**. They also show in your bot picker under **Shared with you**.

## How many?

| Plan | Collaborators per bot |
| - | - |
| Free | 2 |
| Premium | 10 |

Pending invites count toward this number.
