# Members (https://docs.xraise.ai/community/members)



The **Members** screen lists the people in your community. You can suspend a member and restore a suspended member.

## Who sees this screen and how to get to it [#who-sees-this-screen-and-how-to-get-to-it]

* Partner organizations that run a community.
* Click **Members** in the left menu (/partner/members).
* Or click **Community members** on the community overview (/partner/community/(community id)/members).
* **Owners** and **Admins** can suspend and restore. A **Member (read-only)** sees "You have read-only access. A partner owner or admin can suspend and restore members."

## How people become members [#how-people-become-members]

* In a **Public** community, anyone signed in to XRaise can join from the community landing page.
* In an **Invite only** community, people join with an invitation link. See [Invitations](./invitations.mdx).

Members show here after they join or accept an invitation.

## The screen, top to bottom [#the-screen-top-to-bottom]

The line at the top says: "Members of this community. Suspending someone bars that login from rejoining, through the landing page or an invitation, until you restore them."

### The member list [#the-member-list]

Each row shows:

* The name. If XRaise has no name, the email shows. If it has neither, "Member #" and a short code show.
* A second line with the email or the short code, when it adds something.
* "Joined (date)".
* **Suspend**, for owners and admins.

### Suspended [#suspended]

When you have suspended members, a section **Suspended (number)** shows under the list. It says: "These logins cannot rejoin this community until you restore them. Their account and submission history are untouched."

Each row shows the **Suspended** tag, "Suspended (date)" and **Restore**.

## What suspending does [#what-suspending-does]

When you suspend a member:

* They lose access to your community catalog and community dashboard.
* They cannot rejoin, not from the landing page and not with an invitation, until you restore them.
* Their XRaise account and their application history are not deleted.

## How to suspend a member [#how-to-suspend-a-member]

1. Find the person in the list.
2. Click **Suspend**.
3. Read the dialog **Suspend (name)?**.
4. Click **Suspend member**.

You see "(name) suspended". The person moves to the **Suspended** section.

## How to restore a member [#how-to-restore-a-member]

1. Find the person in the **Suspended** section.
2. Click **Restore**.

There is no confirmation step, because you can undo it. You see "(name) restored". The person moves back to the member list.

## Empty states [#empty-states]

* "No members yet": nobody has joined.
* "No active members": everyone in the community is suspended.

## Common questions [#common-questions]

**Does a suspended person get an email?**
No. If they try to join again, XRaise tells them that the community organizer suspended their access.

**Can a suspended person use an old invitation link?**
No. Suspension blocks every way back in until you restore them.

**What is the difference between a community member and a teammate?**
A community member is a founder in your community. A teammate is a person on your partner team who uses the partner panel. You invite teammates on the partner [Settings](./settings.mdx) screen.
