Data inclusion controls whose data you see.
If you’re a Viewer, your data is not included in our insights but you do have access to Multitudes. This is commonly used by managers who are not very active on GitHub, but would still like to view their team’s data.
If you’re a Contributor, your data is included in our insights.
Billing is determined by the number of contributors, i.e. the number of people whose data we are processing and showing.
Permissions controls who can log in, view, and edit things in Multitudes. Here is a table of which permission roles can do what.

Invite the team member into Multitudes by clicking the Invite users + button on the page.
Anyone with access to Multitudes (e.g., either Contributors or Viewers) and any permission role (e.g., Member, Manager, or Owner) is automatically for the teams that they are on. The Watcher role simply allows users to get alerts for additional teams that they’re not on. To edit, simply go to the page. The eye icons at the far right of each team row control whether or not the user is watching that team.
