# Spaces, members and roles

> One set of books for each household, couple or small team, with named roles for who can change what.

A **space** is one set of books in one reporting currency. Everyone in it sees everything; a role decides what each can change. Nobody owns a space. See [Spaces, the concept](https://recontrol.money/docs/concepts/spaces.md), and to invite someone, [Share a space](https://recontrol.money/docs/tasks/share-a-space.md).

The layers icon on Home opens the switcher, with **Space Settings** and **New Space**. On the web, the sidebar's switcher (each space's cog opens its **Settings**), and the space's pages in the sidebar: **Settings** (the items below, its **Details**, then **Leave** and **Delete**), **Members** (the invite on the page, and **Roles** at its top). **Paid for by** on **Connections** opens **Sponsorship** (its bank sync).

## A space's page

* **Name**: **Rename** at the top of the page on the phone, or the name in **Settings** on the web. Its **time zone** sets its days and is fixed when it's made.
* **What currency should totals be in?** Changing it changes everyone's totals and converts each budget's limit.
* **Which account do you usually pay from?** A new transaction starts from it, on that phone only.
* **Members**, **Roles**, **Invite Someone**, **Connections**, **Leave** and **Delete**.

## Roles

| Role | Can |
| - | - |
| **Admin** | Everything, including members and roles |
| **Editor** | Record, keep accounts and plans, connect banks |
| **Viewer** | See everything, change nothing |

**Custom Role…** sets view, add, edit and delete for each area. You can't grant what you don't hold, and Recontrol refuses any change that leaves a space without an administrator.

## Leaving and deleting

**Leave** is never blocked: if you're the last administrator, the longest-standing member becomes one. Your [shared costs](https://recontrol.money/docs/features/shared-costs.md) stay. **Delete** removes the space for every member, after you type its name. It can't be undone.

A member's subscription can [sponsor](https://recontrol.money/docs/features/subscription.md) the space's bank sync; that gives no permissions.
