Members
Space administrators can invite users to spaces that they manage. To add a member to a space, follow these steps:

Members recently added to a space will inherit the same access level they have configured in the Company settings. The assigned access level can be edited at any time.
The access level encompasses a set of permissions granted to a space member. There exist two categories of access levels for any user:
- For actions outside spaces.

Custom fields and workflows
With the introduction of spaces, the scope of use for custom fields and workflows may vary. The scope parameter (found in the Scope column) signifies the visibility of custom fields and workflows across the account. Custom fields and workflows can now have a global or space-specific scope.
- A global custom field/workflow is shared among spaces and, as a result, can be utilized in any space without restrictions.
- A space custom field/workflow is visible and usable only within the space where it was created.
Space administrators can create new custom fields and workflows for the spaces they manage. To create a new custom field/workflow for a space, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Custom fields/Workflows tab in space settings.
- Click + Add custom field/workflow.
Importing custom fields/workflows into space

- Navigate to the Custom fields/Workflows tab in space settings.
- Click + Add custom field/workflow.
- From the dropdown that appears, select the global custom field/workflow you would like to add and utilize in the space.
