The member management feature in Apidog enables you to manage user collaboration within your team by assigning specific permissions. Only team owner and admins have the authority to manage these settings. Other team members can view the list of team members and their basic information but cannot make any changes.When you need to collaborate on an API project, you can invite team members or external collaborators to work together.
Where Should You Invite?
Invite to Team (Current Page): Best for internal colleagues or full-time developers who need broad access to multiple projects within the team.
Invite to Project: Best for external collaborators or outsourced personnel. If you want to strictly restrict a user to a single specific project without granting them visibility into other team assets, please invite them directly from the project level. See Managing Project Members for details.
The new invitation feature supports highly flexible, parallel permission delegation. Here, you can simultaneously configure the invitee's Team Role and specific Project Permissions:
Using a link allows any member who receives it to join the team autonomously, which is very suitable for mass distribution in internal messaging tools (like Slack or Microsoft Teams).
Team Role: Determines their management permissions within the team (e.g., Team Member or Team Admin).
All Projects: Sets a default uniform permission (e.g., Editor or Read-only) across all API projects within the team. You can also select "Custom" to define exceptions for specific core projects.
Granting access to a single project?
If you only intend to add external collaborators to one specific project, we highly recommend using Project-level Invitations instead to ensure proper data isolation.
Once configured, click "Copy Link" to distribute the invitation.
This method is recommended when you need to set distinct permissions for different batches of new members.
Enter the invitees' emails directly into the input box (separated by Commas or Enter).
Independent Control: The list automatically generates a permission bar for each email. This allows for diverse setups in one go (e.g., granting User A Team Admin access while restricting User B to Read-only).
Bulk Import: Click the bulk import button to upload a CSV file (up to 50 emails per batch). Once extracted, use the Bulk Config menu at the top to apply identical permissions to all imported users instantly.
You can assign the "Billing Manager" role to certain users so they can help your team upgrade plans, purchase seats, and manage other billing activities. Billing Manager is an independent role.
Only team owners, admins, or current billing managers can invite other users to join the team as a "Billing Manager".
At the bottom of the "Plans Management" page in your team, you can view the current billing managers list and manage them.
Click the Invite button to open a pop-up window. Enter one or more email addresses. An invitation to become a billing manager will be sent to those emails. The invitee must log in to the Apidog account linked to the invitation email and accept the invitation to officially join the team as a billing manager. Invitations are valid for 7 days and cannot be used after they expire.
From the billing managers list, you can remove a specific billing manager. Once you click Remove and confirm, that billing manager will no longer have access to the team in this role.
Billing managers will have the ability to:β View the usage dashboard β Upgrade, renew, expand, or change the paid plan β Add, update, or remove payment methods β View payment history β Request invoices β View a list of billing managers β Invite additional billing managers β Remove other existing billing managersBilling managers will not be able to:β Create, access, or modify projects, resources, activities, or settings within your team β See members of your team β Be seen in the list of team membersIn the product interface, if you access a team as a billing manager, you will only see the "Plans Management" page for that team, as shown below:
To invite a user as a billing manager, you need an email address registered with an Apidog account:
If the email is already registered with Apidog, the user can log in and accept the invitation to join as a billing manager
If the email is not registered, the user will be prompted to sign up for an Apidog account, log in, and then join as a billing manager
If you log in with a different Apidog account (not linked to the invited email), you'll see an "Invalid Invitation Link" warning when accepting the invite. This helps prevent misuse and ensures security
2.
A team can have multiple billing managers. They can remove each other from the team and invite new billing managers.
3.
A user can be both a regular team member (e.g., admin, member, etc.) and a billing manager. In that case, their permissions in the team will be the combined set of both roles.
