Team collaboration — invitations, roles, and operational tips
Complete guide to using Memol with a team: invite members, set roles, configure folder-level access, and establish workflows that actually stick.
Memol works for individuals, but really shines once 3+ people start using it together. This guide covers setup and operational tips.
Inviting members
- Click the workspace name (top left) → Settings
- Members tab
- Invite → enter email → choose role
The invitee receives an email. They don't need a Memol account yet — they can sign up from the invite link.
Roles and permissions
| Role | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| OWNER | Everything, including billing and workspace deletion |
| ADMIN | Member and folder management. No billing access |
| MEMBER | Create/edit notes, folders, tags |
| VIEWER | Read-only (PRO+) |
Exactly one OWNER per workspace. Transfer ownership when handing over.
Folder-level access (BUSINESS)
For information only some people should see:
- Right-click the folder → Permissions
- Change visibility from Workspace to Specific members
- Choose who has read / write access
Members without access don't even see the folder exists.
Setup recommendations
Week 1
- OWNER + ADMIN build the folder structure first
- Customize 1–2 industry templates
- Add sample notes labeled as examples
When the team joins, they immediately see what goes where. Adoption is much faster with this groundwork.
Operational rules to consider
- Meeting minutes shared within 24 hours
- Only admins create new tags (prevents tag sprawl)
- Separate "personal notes" and "shared docs" folders
- 10-minute cleanup on the last Friday of the month
Member limits and pricing
| Plan | Max members |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| PRO | Unlimited (×¥380/user/month) |
| BUSINESS | Unlimited (×¥980/user/month) |
You'll be prompted to upgrade when inviting member #6.
Common pitfalls
- "Notes scattered, can't find anything" → Folder structure plus AI search. See Folders and tags.
- "Inconsistent format across people" → Custom templates. See Templates.
- "Nobody actually writes notes" → Build a 5-minute "weekly notes" slot into your team's existing meeting rhythm.
When a member leaves
Removing a member preserves their notes in the workspace (author shown as "(removed member)"). Information is not lost.
To transfer ownership of specific notes, use the per-note transfer action before removing the member (PRO+).
