# Members

The **Members** section in the StepSecurity Admin Console helps you manage user access and roles within your organization.

From this view, you can:

* **Add new users** via the **"Add Members"** button
* **Search** and filter the member list
* View each user's **name**, **join date**, and associated **organization**
* Use the **actions menu** (⋮) to manage individual member settings

This centralized list provides a clear overview of who has access, making it easy to maintain secure and organized team membership.

#### Step 2: Select Authentication Type

* Choose the authentication method for the new member:
  * **GitHub**: The user signs in using their GitHub account. Recommended for teams that primarily manage access through GitHub identities.
  * **SSO**: The user authenticates through your organization’s Single Sign-On provider. Use this when access is centrally managed through an identity provider.
  * **SSO Group:** Grants access to users who belong to a specific SSO group. This provides an SCIM like functionality for automated user lifecycle management by granting access based on Identity Provider group membership. This allows customers to automate onboarding, role assignment, and de-provisioning by managing user group assignments directly within their Identity Provider
  * **Email Suffix:** Allows anyone with a matching email domain (for example, @company.com) to authenticate. Useful for broad domain-based access policies.
* Enter the required information based on the selected authentication method.
* Click **Continue**

#### Step 3: Select Access Type

* Choose the type of access to grant the invited member:
  * **Tenant**: Grants full account-level access, including visibility into the Admin Console
  * **Organization**: Grants access only to specific organizations. Members with this access type cannot view the Admin Console and do not have account-level admin privileges
* Then click **Continue**.

#### Step 4: Assign a Role

* Select the role you want to assign:
  * **Auditor**: Read-only access. Auditors can view settings and activity but cannot make any changes
  * **Admin**: Full administrative access. Admins can view all settings and make changes across the account.
  * **Custom roles**: any custom role you have created. See [Roles](/administration/admin-console/access-control/roles.md#creating-a-custom-role) for how to define one.
* Click **Add** to finalize.
