# Inviting a user directly to a space
<a name="spaces-members-add-admin"></a>

You can invite users directly to your CodeCatalyst space. This is useful when you want to invite that user to help you manage the space by assigning them the **Space administrator** or **Power user** role. Assigning one of those roles to other users can help you distribute the responsibilities of managing the space across more people without having to invite these users to any projects.

**Note**  
You must have the **Space administrator** or **Power user** role to invite members.

The **Space administrators** table shows users with the **Space administrator** role. These users are not shown in the **Space members** table because they are automatically (implicitly) assigned to all projects in the space and do not have a role in a project.

Members who accept a project invitation are added to the space by default. The **Project members** table shows all members in the space that have a role in a project.

For more information about how to accept an invitation and sign in for the first time, see [Set up and sign in to CodeCatalystSet up and sign in to CodeCatalyst](setting-up-topnode.md).
