# Member Management

> Add, remove, promote and demote members of your server from the dashboard.

***

## What is Member Management?

Member Management is how you control who is in your server and which roles they hold. You can add and remove members, assign roles, and promote or demote staff, all from the **Members** page.

***

## Managing Members

Open **Members** on your dashboard to get started.

### Available Actions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Member">
    New members join with your join code or link, which you'll find on the [General Settings](/Dashboard/settings#join-code) page. See the [joining guide](/Guides/dashboard/joining) for how they use it.
