Readonly Members
Inviting Members as Readonly
How to invite someone directly as a readonly (viewer) member on the Business plan.
You can invite someone directly as a readonly member so they join Strova with view-only access from the start — no need to change their role after the fact.
Requirements
- Your organization must be on the Business plan
- You must be an Admin or Owner to send invitations
How to Invite as Readonly
- Go to Team Management → Employees.
- Click Invite Members.
- Enter the invitee's email address.
- Check the Invite as Readonly (Viewer) option.
- Optionally assign them to a team.
- Click Send Invite.
The invitee receives the standard invitation email. After signing up, they land in Strova with readonly access only — they will not see the Daily Updates page or be prompted to submit a standup.
Readonly Members Don't Count as Seats
Adding a readonly member has no effect on your monthly invoice. There's no cost limit on readonly members. See What is a readonly member? for full details.
Changing to Full Member Later
If a readonly member later needs to start submitting updates, you can convert them to a full member at any time. They'll then count as a billable seat from that point forward. See Converting a member to readonly.
