checkly members

The canonical checkly members commands are available since CLI v8.7.0. Earlier versions use checkly account members, which remains available as a compatibility alias.

The checkly members commands let you list account members and pending invites, update member roles, and remove members from the currently selected account.

Prerequisites

Before using checkly members, ensure you have:

Checkly CLI installed
Valid Checkly account authentication (run npx checkly login if needed)
Account admin access for role updates or member deletion

For additional setup information, see CLI overview.

Usage

Terminal

npx checkly members [options]
npx checkly members <subcommand> [arguments] [options]

Commands

Command	Description
`members`	List account members and pending invites.
`members update`	Update an account member role.
`members delete`	Delete an account member.

`checkly members`

List members and pending invites for the currently selected account. You can filter the results or enable cursor pagination for larger accounts. Usage:

Terminal

npx checkly members [options]

Options:

Option	Required	Description
`--search, -s`	-	Search members and invites by name or email.
`--type`	-	Filter by item type: `member` or `invite`.
`--role`	-	Filter by role: `owner`, `admin`, `read_write`, `read_run`, or `read_only`.
`--status`	-	Filter by status: `active`, `pending`, or `expired`.
`--limit, -l`	-	Number of results to return (1-100). Enables cursor pagination.
`--next-id`	-	Cursor for the next page. Requires `--limit`.
`--hide-id`	-	Hide member and invite IDs in formatted output.
`--output, -o`	-	Output format: `table`, `json`, or `md`. Default: `table`.

List Examples

Terminal

# List members and pending invites
npx checkly members

# Search by name or email
npx checkly members --search="alex@example.com"

# List pending invites
npx checkly members --type=invite --status=pending

# Find account admins
npx checkly members --role=admin

# Get the first 10 results as JSON
npx checkly members --limit=10 --output=json

# Get the next page using the cursor from the previous response
npx checkly members --limit=10 --next-id=<nextId>

JSON pagination

When you use --output=json, the command returns the members and invites together with cursor pagination fields:

{
  "members": [],
  "length": 0,
  "nextId": null
}

Use a non-null nextId value with --limit and --next-id to retrieve the next page.
