Invite people

Invite by account, by email or in bulk, with the role and team they receive.

In short

Invite people brings colleagues into the organization with a role and a team. Type a name to find an existing account, or type email addresses - one or up to 200 at once - in the one box. The role and team apply the moment they accept. Access ends on and Import from a file wait under "More options".

Before you start

Who: you need "Invite and manage members" (an Organization Admin holds it). A team's lead or deputy without it can invite the organization's members into the teams of their branch.
Plan: Organizations is part of every plan, Free included. Your plan sets how many members and teams an organization may hold (Plan & usage shows them). Pending invitations hold no seat; accepted members do.
First: make the organization your workspace, and decide the role and the team the person should get.

Steps

Make the organization your workspace and choose "Invite people" in the header.
Under "People", search for an existing account, or type addresses under "Email addresses".
Choose the "Role". The first option is the organization's default, and the sentence under the picker says what the chosen role allows.
Choose the "Team" they land in, if you may arrange teams. The first option is the default team.
For a contractor or anyone who should work here for a while, set "Access ends on".
Choose "Send".

Result: a message reports how many were emailed, invited in the app or skipped, and the dialog lists the reason for each skip.

Good to know

You need the Invite and manage members permission. A team's lead or deputy without it can invite the organization's members into the teams of their branch.
Administrators can give any role; everyone else only their own or a lower built-in role.
Search starts at two characters and shows up to six matches. Names match on any part; an email address matches only when typed in full. People who are already members, or have a pending or declined invitation, are left out - type their address instead.
One picked account, or one typed address whose account has a confirmed email, gets an in-app invitation. Every other address gets a single-use link by email, valid for seven days, which the person opens, signs in with that address and accepts.
Paste up to 200 addresses separated by commas, semicolons, spaces or new lines, with one role and team for the group. Addresses that look wrong are flagged before sending.
Pending email invitations show in Members with their role and team. "Resend" replaces the link and extends it seven days; "Revoke" stops it.
Pending invitations hold no seat; accepted members do. Addresses beyond your plan's free member seats are listed as Refused.
With "Access ends on", their access is paused from that day - nothing is lost, and someone who may can resume it.
To invite someone and give them one board, project or notebook at the same time, use "Invite and share" in that thing's Share dialog. See /help/organizations/sharing.

Choose the role carefully The role is granted the moment they accept. Pick Member or Viewer unless the person should manage the organization.

If something goes wrong

An address is skipped as already a member or already invited: the dialog lists the reason. Resend the pending invitation from Members instead.
An address is listed as Refused: your plan has no free member seats left. Free seats, or change the plan.
The person says the link does not work: it was used, revoked or is older than seven days. Press "Resend" in Members.
"Only allow members from the allowed email domains" is on: invitations to other domains are refused. See /help/organizations/joining-rules.
