# 409 already_member

> An invitation targets a user who already has workspace access.

HTTP 409Not retryable

## What to do

Read the member directory. Change the existing member's access if needed instead of creating another invitation.

## In the SDKs

The Node and Python SDKs raise `ConflictError`. The Go SDK returns `*apierrors.ConflictError`, which you match with `errors.As`.

```json title="409 already_member" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
{
  "type": "https://docs.noresponse.org/problems/already-member",
  "title": "Already a member",
  "status": 409,
  "detail": "The user is already an active member of this workspace.",
  "code": "already_member",
  "request_id": "5e8be3a91fde9499f7ce48ae66290895"
}
```

Every error has this shape. [Errors and limits](https://docs.noresponse.org/reference/errors.md) lists every code.
