Each workspace has its own group of members. All current members of a workspace are grouped together in the BSCW group 'members of <workspace name>'. You can become a member of a workspace only by being invited by its manager or by another member who is entitled to invite new members.

A registered user of a BSCW server who is invited to a workspace on that server will learn this from the fact that this new workspace is listed with the icon in her folder. Additionally, new members may be informed by an invitation email message.

Your daily workspace activity report will also notify you of any new workspace that you have been invited to on the day before.

BSCW does not provide a specific function to decline the invitation to a workspace. If you do not want to be associated with a particular workspace, you have to remove yourself from the list of members:

• Click the icon next to the workspace name to display the workspace's members page.
• choose  Remove   from the action menu or from the selection menu bar to remove yourself from this BSCW group. Please note that this cannot be undone. To regain access to this workspace, please ask another member to re-invite you.
