# Add Member

Safe Signers or Members have the ability to invite community users to join their organisation as Members. There are two methods to add Members to a Safe:

* Define Members (add addresses) while setting up the Safe
* Use the **Add Member** option (after creating the Safe)

**Method 1: Defining Members during Safe setup**

This option allows you to define the Safe Members while setting up the Safe. The Main Signers then need to invite other Members to join the Safe. Please refer to this guide on how to[ create a Safe](/business/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-organisation/add-accounts-safes-wallets-etc./create-a-new-safe.md), add Members during the setup process, and subsequently invite them to [join an existing organisation](/business/getting-started/joining-an-existing-organisation.md).

 **Method 2: Adding Members to an existing Safe**

This option enables you to add a Member to an existing Safe.

## **Step 3: Accept the invitation to join organisation**

Next, the invited user must visit the [Coinshift](https://beta.coinshift.xyz/) app and register as a new user ([Sign Up](/business/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-organisation/sign-up.md)), if not already a user. Upon successful registration, the user will see a list of all pending invitations to join organisations.

They must either accept or decline each invitation by clicking on the **Accept** or **Reject** button, respectively.

## **Step 4:** **Check new Member details on the dashboard**

If the user accepts the invitation, their name will appear on the active Members list within the organisation. They will then have the ability to manage non-transactional Safe activities.
