Invite a user

Choose appropriate access and check invitation status.

Sound is off

Inviting someone sends them an email with a link to join your organisation. This walkthrough adds one address, gives it a role, sends it, and follows it into Pending Invites.

The panel takes up to fifty addresses at once: type one and press Enter, or paste a list and it will split on commas, semicolons, spaces or new lines. Each becomes a chip you can remove. Assign Roles is optional and applies to the whole batch — so send a separate batch when people need different access. There is also an Auto-approve users option, which decides whether someone who accepts arrives active or waiting for approval, and a Personal Message that goes in the email.

  1. Step 1

    Open the invite panel

    Go to Users and select Invite Users. If the control is missing, check invitation permissions with your administrator.

  2. Step 2

    Enter the email

    Enter the colleague's email and press Enter to add it. Check the address, and remove anything you did not mean to add. This example sends one invitation; for several, check each address and each result.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the role

    Expand Assign Roles and choose the role approved for their duties. Check what it grants — do not hand out administrator access for convenience.

  4. Step 4

    Send it

    Review the recipient and roles, then select Send 1 Invite and read the result for that address. If it fails, check the address and the error, and retry only the failures.

  5. Step 5

    Check it is pending

    Select Done, then open Pending Invites to find the address. Pending is about the INVITATION, not the email: they have not accepted yet. The status beside it is the email's — Sending, Awaiting acceptance or Failed — so a message that never got there is visible here rather than something you find out about later. If it failed, check the address; if it is awaiting acceptance and nothing happens, check their spam filtering.

  6. Step 6

    Inviting several at once

    This invites one person. The panel accepts several addresses at once for a group starting together; check each address and each result, because they can succeed and fail independently.

  7. Step 7

    Read the results

    Sending swaps the panel for Invite Results: one row per address with the server's message and a tick or a cross, under a line reading N of M invites sent successfully. If some failed, a Try Again button returns you to the form — it does not re-send the failures by itself, so re-enter those addresses.

  8. Step 8

    Track them in Pending Invites

    The Pending Invites tab on Users lists everything not yet accepted, with the status the email is actually in: Sending, Awaiting acceptance, or Failed with the reason on hover. Declined and Cancelled show here too. From a row's menu you can Resend Invite or Cancel Invite. There is no invite link to copy — the email is the only way in.

  9. Step 9

    What the person receives

    They get an email, and signing in shows them a Pending Invitations page with a card per organisation — who invited them and when — and Accept or Decline. Accepting switches them into your organisation straight away.
