# How to Add a Team Member

> Invite staff to your Bila account and assign their role and notification preferences.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* **Merchant Admin** access to your Bila dashboard
* The team member's full name, email address, and phone number (if enabling SMS notifications)

## Steps

1. Click **Settings** at the bottom of the left sidebar
2. Select the **Admins** tab from the top navigation bar
3. Click **+ Invite Admin** at the top right
4. Enter the team member's **first name**, **last name**, and **email address**
5. Add their **phone number** if you want them to receive SMS notifications
6. Select which **wallets** they should have access to
7. Choose their **role** - this controls what actions they can take (see [Access Roles](/docs/guide/team-members/team-member-feature))
8. Set their **notification type** and **notification channels** (Email, SMS, or both)
9. Review the summary and click **Send Invitation**

The team member will receive an email invitation with a link to create their account. Their status will show as `PENDING` in the Admins dashboard until they accept.

<Info>
  If the invitation email isn't received, ask the team member to check their spam folder. You can resend the invite from the **Admins** dashboard by clicking the options menu `...` next to their name.
