# Inviting someone from your team

_How to add a colleague, and what to decide before clicking invite._

**Responde a:** how do i invite a colleague · add users to the account · give access to someone in my company · my colleague did not get the invitation

Inviting someone takes thirty seconds. What deserves a minute's thought is what they will be able to do, because changing it later is more awkward than getting it right first time.

## How to do it

1. **Go to Settings → Members.**
2. **Click "Invite" and enter their work email.**
3. **Choose what they will be able to do.**
4. **Send. They receive an email to sign in and set their password.**

## What to decide first

| Question | Criterion |
| --- | --- |
| Do they need to change settings? | If not, do not make them an administrator |
| Do they need to delete? | Almost never. It is the permission that does most damage |
| Do they need to see everything? | If they work in one area, scope them to their team |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Two administrators, not one and not five. With only one, if that person loses access nobody inside can fix it; with five, nobody feels responsible for anything.

## If the invitation does not arrive

- Check the address is spelled correctly: that is 90% of cases.
- Have them check spam.
- Resend it; the previous link still works.

> [!NOTE]
> Invite when there is something to show. Signing in to an empty account engages nobody; signing in to a process that already works does.

**Does having more people cost anything?**

It depends on your plan; check before inviting twenty people.

**Can non-administrators invite others?**

No, and it is better that way.

**Can what they do be changed later?**

Yes, at any time.

## Ejemplos

**A company invites all five team members on day one and nobody signs in.**

- Waits until one process is working
- Invites them again with something to show

→ All five sign in that week because there is something concrete to do inside.

**Somebody is invited without deciding their permissions.**

- Picks the role when inviting

→ They come in able to work and without seeing too much.

**The invitation goes unaccepted for weeks.**

- Checks the pending invitations

→ Onboarding is closed or withdrawn.

**The invitation goes to a personal address for convenience.**

- Uses the corporate address

→ Departure cuts access.

**Somebody joins and nobody shows them where to start.**

- Points them at the process they will use

→ Day one is useful.

**Somebody who only had to provide one document is invited.**

- Sends them a link instead of inviting them

→ No licence is consumed for one contribution.
