# Accounts & Teams

> Personal accounts, team accounts, members, and roles

Pixio has two kinds of account. Understanding which you're in explains where your credits and assets went.

| | Personal account | Team account |
| - | - | - |
| Credits | Yours alone | **One shared pool** |
| Assets | Private to you | Shared with every member |
| Billing | You | Usually an owner |
| Members | Just you | Invited members with roles |

You can belong to both — a personal account plus one or more teams. Switch between them in the app; whichever you're in is the one being billed.

<Warning>
  Generating in the wrong context spends the wrong balance and puts the output in the wrong library. Check which account you're in before starting expensive work.
</Warning>

## Team accounts

A team account is a shared workspace: one plan, one credit pool, one asset library, many people.

Good for a studio or agency where several people generate against a single budget and need each other's outputs. Not necessary if you just want your own work in one place.

## Members and roles

Two roles, with **owner** above **member**:

| Role | Can |
| - | - |
| **Owner** | Everything a member can, plus manage members, invites, roles, billing, and settings |
| **Member** | Work in the team — generate, use shared assets, spend the shared credits |

Permissions cover roles, billing, settings, members, and invites — all owner-level.

<Info>
  Any member can spend the team's credits. There's no per-member credit limit, so a shared pool needs a shared understanding of who's generating what.
</Info>

## Inviting people

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the team's Members page">
    Available to owners.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send an invite">
    Invite by email with the role they should have.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They accept">
    The invite is joined from the link. Invites can **expire** — an expired one needs re-sending.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Members can be removed, and roles changed, by an owner.

## Billing

Personal and team accounts bill separately, each with its own plan and credit balance. A team's billing is managed on the team's own [Billing](/billing/billing) page, normally by an owner.

<Info>
  Upgrading your personal plan does nothing for your team, and vice versa. They're independent subscriptions.
</Info>

## Ownership transfer

Team ownership can be transferred to another member — the path to take when the current owner leaves. Do it *before* the account they own is deactivated.
