-Use this button, to add a new member to the currently selected repository. Add the member only after generating the SSH key. And such a member should be registered at the server this //Git Winch Client Application// is currently connected to. You can get the idea of that server by examining the SysAPIurl= entry in the //gitwinch.ini// file.
+Use this button, to add a new member to the currently selected repository. Add the member only after generating the Deploy key for that member. And such a member should be registered at our server. You need to first select the member from the repository list (which will only appear when the repository is selected), and then you can add a member into the currently selected repository.

+Because the repository list can only be refreshed when you supply the Personal Access Token, usually this means that only owner of the repository can add such a member.

+From version 1.0.14.0 onwards, even a manager can add/delete members of a repository. In such a case, //Git Winch// will ask you for each piece of information needed to perform the action.
+For this to work, the actual owner should have shared the //encrypted// version of the Personal Access Token with that manager... and it goes without saying, //the owner must trust such a manager if the encrypted version of Personal Access Token (PAT) is to be shared with that person.//
+Read about [[/gitlabapitoken1?do=export_xhtml|the encrypted version of the PAT here.]]
+**Important:** The Personal Access Token is created at the owner's Git hosting service. This can create a big issue for the owner, if it gets in the hands of untrustworthy people. **//So never ever share the plain Personal Access Token with anyone.//**
