Groups and membership

A group (organization) is a shared kitchen workspace: Cargo, Galley, Manifest, Supply, and the AI credit balance all belong to that group. Membership and admin live under Hub → Settings → Group (and the group switcher chrome on mobile).

To switch which group is active while you work, see Switching groups. Invite and share gates depend on the owner’s plan — see Free vs Crew Member.

Actions

• Create group — Open New group (or Settings → Group). Free owners typically hold one owned group; Crew raises the owned-group cap. The new group starts with its own empty kitchen and credit pool.
• Set default group — In Settings → Account, choose which group opens after sign-in when you belong to more than one.
• Rename / avatar — Owners and admins update the group name and avatar in Settings → Group.
• Invite member — Owners and admins create an invitation link when the owner’s tier allows invites (Crew Member). Invitees join as members by default. See Free vs Crew Member for gating.
• Accept invitation — Open the invite link, sign in if needed, and accept on the Accept invitation screen. You become a member of that group.
• Change member role — Owners (and admins, for members) promote or demote between member and admin in the member list. Ownership itself is not changed here.
• Transfer ownership — The current owner transfers ownership to another existing member. The former owner becomes a non-owner member and loses owner-only actions (delete group, credit transfer).
• Remove member — The owner removes an admin or member from the group (per person). The owner row cannot be removed this way. Kitchen data stays with the group.
• Leave group — Admins and members leave the active group from Settings → Danger Zone (or iOS Group Settings). Owners cannot leave — transfer ownership first, then leave, or delete the group. You cannot leave a personal group.
• Transfer credits between orgs — An owner moves credits from a group they own to another group they belong to. Amounts are capped by the source balance.
• Org supply planning horizon — Owners and admins set how many days ahead Manifest meals feed Supply (1–30, default 7) via Supply options or Group Settings. Members see the active window read-only. See Supply (shopping list).
• Delete group — Owners can delete a non-personal group (with confirmation). Personal groups are not deleted standalone; removing them requires account purge. Deletion removes that group’s kitchen data; members’ personal nutrition intake is retained (see Nutrition goals and tracking).

Membership exit

Leaving or being removed clears that user’s active session for the group (and default-group preference if it pointed at that org). Group kitchen data is not deleted. Personal nutrition intake you logged while in that group stays on your account (day history and totals); deleting a shared group removes that kitchen’s Cargo/Galley/plan data but keeps your private intake rows with a remembered kitchen/meal label where possible.
