Invite your team
There are two ways people join your organization: you invite them, or — with a verified domain — they sign up with their work email and join per your domain's join mode.
Send an invitation
- Open Users & Roles and select Invite user.
- Enter the email address and pick a role.
- Select Create invitation. Shield emails the invitation; if delivery fails, you get a link to share manually.
The invited person sets their name and password on first sign-in and lands directly in your organization.
Track invitations and requests
Users & Roles has three tabs: Members, Open invitations, and Requests. Open invitations show their status (Pending, Accepted, Expired) with Resend invitation and Revoke invitation actions — and an expiry date, so stale invites don't linger.
Joining via your domain
Once your domain is verified, sign-ups from that domain follow your join mode: join automatically as a member, land in the Requests tab for your approval (the default), or require an explicit invitation. People with a pending request are notified by email once you approve them.
Note: admin seats are plan-limited (Starter 1, Business 5, Enterprise unlimited). Inviting another admin beyond the limit is blocked with a clear message — regular members are not affected by this limit.
