# /members

Returns a collection of your account members. Required scope: `r_jobs`. Accessible with account tokens and user tokens.

## Results

Calling the `/members` endpoint will return a collection of the [defined members](http://www.workable.com/backend/account/members)

Recruiting Role mapping:\
`ats.admin` - All Access

`ats.simple` - Standard Access

`ats.reviewer` - Limited Access / Reviewer

Employee Management Role mapping:

`hris.admin` - All Access

`hris.employee` - Standard Access

`hris.limited` - Limited Access

If a member has full access to all account settings, data and user permissions across Recruiting (and HR, if enabled) then the member will also have the `workable.superadmin` role.

Each `member` will have the following keys:
