Only team owner and admins have the authority to manage these settings.

Inviting Users to Join Specific Projects#
Users with invitation permissions can invite external collaborators to edit specific projects without granting access to other team projects. To do so, click on Invite on the left side of the project page.π· Visual Reference
Invitations sent from a project are limited to that project only.
For other projects in the team, permissions default to Forbidden, meaning the invited member cannot view them.

Use "Project Invitations" to allow external collaborators to edit specific projects without accessing other team projects.Guests have the same team permissions as team members, but are excluded from permission settings for newly created team projects.Guests are also counted as team members and will be billed according to the total number of team members.

Notes#
1.
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.
