# Members

> See who is in a Chest, and allow, decline, or remove someone

**Members** lists the people in the Chest. Open it from the Chest. The owner and a member do not see the same controls.

## How do I see who is in the Chest? <a href="#who-is-in-the-chest" id="who-is-in-the-chest" />

Each person is listed by the name they joined with. Your own row says **(you)** after your name. Under a name, the row can say **Joined** and the date.

The owner is listed with the other people who are in the Chest.

A member sees the people who are in the Chest. A member does not see **Allow**, **Decline**, or **Remove**.

## How do I let someone in? <a href="#let-someone-in" id="let-someone-in" />

This is only for the owner, and only when **Ask before people join** is on.

People who are waiting appear under **Waiting to join**. Tap **Allow**. They can then see the Chest.

## How do I decline a request? <a href="#decline-a-request" id="decline-a-request" />

Under **Waiting to join**, tap **Decline**.

That person does not get in.

## How do I remove a member? <a href="#remove-a-member" id="remove-a-member" />

On their row, tap **Remove**.

They lose access. OurChest shows their name and **removed**. They drop off the list. Files they added stay in the Chest, which is the same result as [Leave Chest](../chests/chest-settings).

*Android. On iPhone, Remove is on the member's row.*

You cannot remove yourself this way. Use **Leave Chest** if you joined and you want to go.
