# How To Add New Users To Your Affinity Account
> Help center reference
**How-to** — task-oriented recipe.
Add more team members as new **Users** to your Affinity account to ensure you all stay on the same page and collectively grow your network. If you're looking to add non-team members as **Collaborators** instead, see [How to invite and manage Collaborators with read-only access in Affinity](/s/article/How-to-invite-manage-Collaborators-in-Affinity).
## How do I decide whether to invite Users or Collaborators?
* **Users** have full read-and-edit access to the Affinity account, including [Directories](/s/article/All-People-and-All-Organizations), [Lists](/s/article/Getting-started-with-lists-in-Affinity), [Profiles](/s/article/Navigating-profile-pages-in-Affinity), etc.
* **Collaborators** only have read-only access to [specific saved views](/s/article/How-to-create-and-use-saved-views-within-a-list) within Affinity lists.
* You must be on the **Scale**, **Advanced**, or **Enterprise** tiers in order to invite Collaborators (see [How do I know which Affinity subscription tier I am on?](/s/article/How-do-I-know-which-Affinity-subscription-tier-I-am-on)).
* Team members **cannot** be invited as Collaborators, they must be invited as Users.
## Who can add new users to their Affinity account?
* **Essential**, **Scale**, and **Advanced** tiers:
* Only **Admin** users at the account level (see [Account Level Permissions](/s/article/Account-level-permissions)).
* **Enterprise** tier:
* The **Enterprise Admin** will be able determine who can invite team members as new users to their Affinity account (see the section titled "What permissions can the Enterprise Admin change? (Enterprise only)" in the article [Account Level Permissions](/s/article/Account-level-permissions)).
## How do I know who's already been invited, active, or deactivated?
1. Click **Settings** on the left side.
2) Click on the **Users and Permissions** tab, then click the **Search** bar to search for a specific user or click the **Active** button right next to it to filter by status: **Active**, **Deactivated**, or **Invited**.
## How to add a new user
**Note:** If the user you are trying to add was a former Affinity user within your organization but was removed, please first check if they are in the **Deactivated** section (dropdown) within the User's tab inside **Users and Permission** settings page. If so, you can re-activate them to add them back into the Account.
1. Click **Settings** on the left side.
2) Click on the **Users and Permissions** tab, then click **Invite User**.
3. Type in their full name and the email address that they'll be signing in with. They will receive an email invite and must use their email credentials to sign in.
4. If you already reached the **maximum** seat count for your Affinity subscription, you will receive the following notification. To learn more, see the section titled "How do you add and pay for additional seats?" in the article [Getting started with billing in Affinity](/s/article/Getting-started-with-billing-in-Affinity).
5) Want to simply reassign a seat? You can deactivate the team member that is no longer using Affinity (see [How to deactivate/remove users from your Affinity account](/s/article/How-to-deactivate-reactivate-or-remove-users-from-your-Affinity-account)), then send an invite to the new team member.
## How to resend an invite to a new user
1. Click **Settings** on the left side.
2) Click on the **Users and Permissions** tab, then click the **Active** button to make sure you also filter by **Invited** users as well.
3. For the user that has already been invited, click the **ellipsis (3-dotted icon)**, then click **Resend invite**.
