# Members
> Invite people to your collections to work on them together
Collections are private by default — only you can see them. But sometimes you need other people involved: a colleague gathering research, a friend contributing to a shared reading list, or a team curating resources together.
Membership works at the collection level: you choose which collections to share and invite people to each one individually. Nested collections are included automatically. Everything else stays private.
If you just want to publish a read-only link for anyone on the web, use a [public page](/public-page) instead.
## Inviting members
Open the collection you want to share.
Click the **Share** button in the top-right corner.
If the Share button is not visible, make sure you are inside a specific collection — sharing is not available from "All bookmarks" or "Unsorted".
Switch to the **Collaboration** tab to manage existing members or invite new ones.
Click **Invite** to create a unique join link. Send this link to anyone you want to add.
Invite links are reusable — the same link works for multiple people without needing to generate a new one each time.
## Setting permissions
Every member has one of two roles:
| Role | Can view | Can add, edit, delete |
| ------------- | -------- | --------------------- |
| **Member** | Yes | Yes |
| **Read-only** | Yes | No |
The collection owner always has full control: managing members, changing roles, and revoking access.
If the collection owner has a [Pro plan](/premium-features), every member gains access to full-text search on that collection — even without their own Pro subscription.
## Removing members
Open the collection, click **Share** → **Collaboration**, and remove the person from the list. Access is revoked immediately.
## FAQ
