### What is Members?

The Members section enables you to view, manage, and control all team members who have access to your BotPenguin workspace.

From here, you can assign roles, control access levels, and define what leads and data each member can view or manage.

This section is critical for teams operating at scale, ensuring clear role segmentation, enhanced security, and operational clarity.
