# The member object

> One of your end users, inside a workspace.

A member is one user of your product inside a customer's workspace. Members you create are invisible: MeetingKit never emails them or asks them to sign in. See [Connect calendars](/meetingkit/calendar-connection). What applies to a member's meetings is its `settings`; see [Settings](/meetingkit/settings).

## Attributes

<ResponseField name="id" type="string">
  Stable typed member ID beginning with `mem_`. Treat it as an opaque string.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="object" type="string">
  Always `member`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="workspace_id" type="string">
  Workspace ID, beginning with `wks_`. Treat it as an opaque string.

<ResponseField name="email" type="string">
  The member's email, unique within the workspace.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="name" type="string | null">
  `null` for a person who also has workspaces of their own: their name is theirs.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="client_reference_id" type="string | null">
  Your own id for this person. Stored and returned, never interpreted. `null` until you set it.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="metadata" type="object">
