# Member
## *class* Member
Members on Redivis represent individuals who interface with an organization, including both data administrators and researchers applying to and using that organization's data. You must be an administrator of the respective organization in order to view and edit members.
## Constructors
## Examples
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Basics" %}
my_org = redivis.organization("some_organization")
# List all members
members = my_org.list_members()
for member in members:
# ... do something with the member
# Get a specific member
a_member = my_org.member("jane_doe")
# Will throw an error if the member doesn't exists
# Can first call member.exists() to check for existence
a_member.get()
print(a_member.properties)
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Filter members" %}
```python
my_org = redivis.organization("some_organization")
# List all pending members with a given label
pending_humanities_members = my_org.list_members(
status=["pending"],
labels=["school:humanities"]
)
for member in members:
# ... do something with the member
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Update members" %}
my_org = redivis.organization("some_organization")
members = my_org.list_members(...)
for member in members:
# E.g., call an internal API to validate that member
status = validate_member_against_internal_systems(member)
member.update(status=status)
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
