As the Owner of a team on AhaSlides, the Team Members tab allows you to add and remove team members, set team roles, and upgrade the team plan or add more licenses.
A team plan and an individual plan are 2 different types of plans. A team owner can have their own paid plan, while the team is still under a free plan. The owner can upgrade from an individual plan to a team plan — see Purchasing Multiple Licenses for AhaSlides Team Plan Subscription.

Free Team vs. Team Plan

There are two types of teams:
Free TeamTeam Plan
Member limitUp to 200 membersDetermined by licenses purchased (the owner/admin counts as one license)
Member accessMembers only have access to the Free plan unless they upgrade their individual accounts, or the owner upgrades to the team planTeam members have access to the features of the team’s plan (Essential or Pro) that the owner purchased
To purchase or get more licenses for your team plan, see Purchasing Multiple Licenses for AhaSlides Team Plan Subscription.

Creating a Team

1

Open team creation

If you do not yet have a team, click Create your team in the left-hand panel under the Team section.
2

Name your team and invite the first members

An “Add Team members” modal appears. Enter a name for your team in the Team name field, then add at least one email address in the Invite members field.
3

Send invitations

Click Invite to create your team and send the invitations — you will be taken to the Team Members dashboard automatically.
At the moment, the team owner is not able to change the team name after team creation. If you would like to update the team name, contact hi@ahaslides.com using the team owner’s email address.

Accessing the Team Members Dashboard

To manage your team members, click on your team name in the left-hand panel of the dashboard. The team members dashboard has two tabs:
  • Members — shows all current team members with their roles, last activity, join date, and (for paid plans) their licence status.
  • Pending — shows all invitations you have sent out, including their current status (pending, accepted, declined, or expired).
On paid plans, owners and admins will also see a licence usage meter in the top-right corner, showing how many licences are in use out of the total purchased.

Member Roles

RolePermissions
OwnerFull control: invite/remove members, change roles, manage plan and licenses, plus all Member permissions
AdminAll Member privileges, plus inviting new Members and removing Members or Admins from the team
MemberCan view, edit, and present any presentation shared with the team
Only the team Owner can invite new members as Admin. Admins can only invite new members with the Member role.

Inviting Team Members

To invite new members to your team, click the Invite button and enter their email addresses — you can invite multiple members at the same time. In the role dropdown next to the email field, select the role (Member or Admin) that each invitee will have in the team.
Accounts that already have their own paid plan, or that are already a member of another team, cannot be invited. They will need to cancel that plan or leave their current team before they can accept your invitation.
On paid Team plans, the invite modal also shows:
  • Assign licences checkbox — when checked, each invitee automatically receives a paid licence upon accepting. Enabled by default when seats are available; disabled when the team is at its quota. If more invitees accept than seats are available, licences are granted on a first-come-first-served basis.
  • Available licence count — shows how many seats are free to assign.
  • Buy more link (owners only) — takes the team owner to the licence purchase page.
You can keep track of invitations in the Pending tab, where you can:
  • Copy the invitation link to share it directly.
  • See an “Auto” badge (on paid plans) indicating a licence will be auto-assigned when the invitee accepts.
  • Withdraw any pending invitation by clicking the withdraw icon on the right-hand side.
Any members you invite receive an email and a notification at the top of their AhaSlides dashboard asking them to accept. Once they accept, they are automatically added to your team and appear in the Members tab.

Managing Licences (Paid Plans Only)

On a paid Team plan, the Members tab includes a Licence column showing each member’s current licence status. The team owner and admins can grant or revoke licences for individual members using the dropdown in that column. Bulk licence management — Owners and Admins can also manage licences for multiple members at once: select one or more members using the checkboxes on the left side of the Members table, then use the Assign or Revoke action that appears in the action bar.
Members who have their own active personal subscription are not eligible for bulk licence management — their plan is tied to their individual account rather than the team.
If you have granted more licences than your subscription allows, a Licence Shortage alert appears at the top of the team page. You will have 48 hours to purchase more licences or revoke excess ones to keep your team’s plan active.

Changing Team Members’ Roles

As the Owner, you can change any team member’s role between Member and Admin. Navigate to their name on the Members tab, open the dropdown menu under Role, and select either Admin or Member.
Only the team Owner can change member roles. Admins see member roles as read-only labels and cannot reassign them.

Removing Team Members

To remove a member from your team, navigate to their name on the Members tab, then click the Remove from team icon on the far right-hand side of their row.
If you are using a Team plan, you regain 1 licence each time you remove a team member. That user’s account is automatically downgraded back to the Free plan.

Leaving Your Team

The owner and team members can leave the team at any time. Navigate to the Members tab, then click the “Leave team” icon on the far right-hand side of their name in the member list. When a member leaves, the system removes their access to presentations and folders shared specifically with the team.
If the team’s owner leaves, the team is deleted. Deleting the team disbands all its members and removes their access to presentations and folders shared specifically with the team.

Team Workspace vs. Personal Workspace

The team workspace is a shared area visible to all team members, where everyone can access, edit, and present any presentation stored there. Your Personal Workspace (My Presentations) is private by default — team members cannot see it unless you explicitly share content. Use the Share feature to send a copy of a presentation to a teammate’s personal workspace.
