Ways to become a member
- Open join accepts an authenticated person immediately when capacity is available.
- Request approval creates a pending request for the owner.
- Invite only requires a valid invitation.
- Joining a canonical Field Lab also keeps the Field membership and Lab roster aligned.

Roles
- Owner manages the Lab, publication settings, and membership.
- Editor can read and contribute to member content.
- Viewer is a member with read-only access.
- Observer is not a member and can only read the owner's public projection.

Capacity and leaving
The owner counts toward the Lab's capacity. If a Lab is full, an invitation or open join cannot bypass the limit. Members can leave; owners should transfer or resolve ownership requirements before deleting a Lab.
Keep in mind: Never use a public observer link as an invitation token. The two links have different permissions.
