# Manage AI Labs groups and members

Bring people into an AI Labs organization and decide what each learner can use. A group holds the services and
the instance limits for a set of learners. Members are the Admins, Professors, and learners you invite.

## Before you begin

Make sure that you are an Admin, that you have an
[organization](/tir/ai-labs/how-to/create-an-organization/), and that you have the email address of each
person you invite.

## Create a group

Every organization starts with a group named **Default**, which gives every AI Labs service and the plans
with 5 GB of GPU memory, one instance per plan. A learner joins **Default** unless you add them to another group. Create
your own group when a set of learners needs other services, larger plans, or more instances.

1. In the organization, open the **GROUPS** tab and select **Create Group**.
2. Enter a **Name**. It can have up to 50 characters: letters, digits, spaces, underscores, and hyphens,
   starting and ending with a letter or a digit. Choose a name that is unique among the organization's groups.
3. Under **Access Control**, choose the services the group can use and the rights it gets on each. The
   services are **Node**, **Storage**, **Inference**, **External Integration**, and **API Token**, and the
   rights are **Read**, **Create**, **Update**, and **Delete**. Choose at least one service.
4. Under **Plan Configuration**, choose the plans the group's learners can launch. For each plan, set **Max
   Instances per Student**: a whole number from one up to the number of instances of that plan the
   organization's GPUs can hold.
5. Select **Create**.

Each learner's limit on a plan covers all of that learner's instances and endpoint replicas on it. A learner
in more than one group gets the limits of those groups added together. A learner who reaches the limit sees
**You have reached your allowed instance quota and cannot launch any additional resources at this time.**

## Edit or delete a group

Open the group to change its name, services, or plans, or to delete it. You can delete any group except
**Default**, which stays in every organization.

## Add a member

Choose the role that fits each person:

- **Admin** runs the whole AI Labs account, across every organization.
- **Professor** teaches in this organization: creates courses, adds modules and learners, and watches
  activity.
- **Learner** takes the courses they are added to and practises within their groups' limits.

1. In the organization, select **Add Member**.
2. Enter the email address and choose the role.
3. For a learner, choose one or more groups.
4. Send the invitation.

The person receives an invitation by email and joins when they accept it. To invite many people at once,
upload a CSV file of addresses instead of typing each one. AI Labs gives each member the permissions their role
needs. To assign specific policies instead, select **Advanced Options**.

## Change or remove a member

Open the **Actions** menu of a member in the list.

- To change a member's role or a learner's groups, edit the member. Moving a member to Professor or Admin
  clears their groups, because groups are for learners.
- To remove a member, choose remove.

Removing a member deletes their instances, endpoints, model repositories, integrations, and datasets, so ask
them to save their work first.

## What to do next

Give the new members something to work on: [create a course](/tir/ai-labs/how-to/create-a-course/) and add
them to it. If AI Labs refuses a name, an address, or a service choice, see
[Troubleshooting AI Labs](/tir/ai-labs/troubleshooting/ai-labs/).
