we have been added vs we have added

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'We have been added' is passive voice, indicating that someone else added 'us.' On the other hand 'we have added' is active voice, indicating that 'we' did the adding. The choice between the two phrases depends on who performed the action.
