| 8 | +# Manage Domain Members |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Managing domain members helps your organization control who can use Expensify with your company email domain, and which domain-level settings apply to them. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +There are two types of members within Domain Settings: |
| 13 | +- **Domain Member**: Subject to domain rules. Members must have an email address under the domain as their primary or secondary contact method, such as `@yourcompany.com`. |
| 14 | +- **Domain Admin**: Has full control over domain settings, including adding/removing members, managing rules, and configuring security settings. Admins do not need an email address associated with the domain. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +--- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Who can manage Domain Members |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Only Domain Admins can invite, remove, deactivate, or promote Domain Members. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Your domain must be verified before you can invite and manage members. Learn how to [claim and verify a domain](https://help.expensify.com/articles/new-expensify/domains/Claim-and-Verify-a-Domain). |

| 26 | +## How to add a Domain Member |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +You can add Domain Members in two ways: automatically or manually. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +1. **Automatic signup**: Accounts created with a domain email, such as `name@yourcompany.com`, are added automatically. |
| 31 | +2. **Manual addition**: A Domain Admin can invite members. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## How Domain Members are added automatically |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Members are automatically added when they use an email from your verified domain. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- **Members new to Expensify**: Accounts created with a domain email are automatically added as members. |
| 38 | +- **Existing Expensify members**: Members can add a domain email as a primary or secondary contact method. Once verified, the members are automatically added to the domain. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +If a member has multiple contact methods, the primary contact method takes precedence. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## How to manually invite a Domain Member |

| 44 | +1. Go to **Workspaces > Domains**. |
| 45 | +2. Select your domain. |

| 74 | +# FAQ |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +## What happens if a member removes their domain email? |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +If a member removes their domain email from their contact methods, they’ll no longer be listed as a Domain Member. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +## Can Domain Admins be outside the company domain? |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Yes. Domain Admins don’t need to use a domain email — they can manage the domain from any account. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +## Can I remove a Domain Member without closing their account? |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +No. To remove a Domain Member, you must deactivate (close) the account. However, you can always reinvite them later. |
