# Member Quick Start

This is the default path for most Alludium users.

As a Member, you usually do not need to build agents, configure skills, or manage workspace integrations before you can work. Your workspace should already contain the tasks, project setups, files, and workflows your team wants you to use.

## Start In The Inbox

The Inbox is the default landing surface after sign-in.

Use it to:

* Review work assigned to you or available to continue.
* Create a new task when you need help drafting, researching, reviewing, or coordinating work.
* Continue setup or onboarding tasks.
* Track task status across to do, in progress, and done.

Some tasks are created from reusable task types. You do not need to manage those definitions to use them; choose the visible task option that matches the work you need done.

## Work In Projects

Projects keep longer-running work together.

A project can hold tasks, files, structured data, activity, and team context for an initiative. In a VC workspace, common examples are deal rooms, origination pipelines, diligence workstreams, and IC preparation.

Use Projects when:

* The work belongs to an ongoing initiative.
* Multiple people need the same context.
* Files, tasks, and decisions should stay grouped together.
* You are working from a pack-backed workflow such as a VC deal room.

If the sidebar shows a project type shortcut, use it to filter projects by that workflow.

## Use Files As Shared Context

Files are durable source material for tasks, projects, and agent-assisted work.

Use Files to:

* Upload decks, notes, transcripts, reports, or supporting documents.
* Search and inspect workspace files.
* Provide task or project context.
* Keep generated outputs available for review.

## Use Workspace Settings For Your Own Account

Members can use Settings for personal and workspace-adjacent tasks, such as:

* Viewing workspace people.
* Managing account settings.
* Adjusting appearance.
* Reviewing privacy and security settings.
* Managing notification preferences.

Workspace billing, role changes, SSO, and deeper governance controls may require Admin or Owner access.

## When To Ask An Admin Or Owner

Ask an Admin or Owner when you need:

* A new project setup or pack enabled.
* A new task type or workflow option.
* An integration connected or changed.
* An agent, skill, automation, or template configured.
* A role, billing, SSO, or workspace governance change.

If you are not seeing a feature described in the docs, first check whether the page is marked for Admins or Owners.
