Inviting Users via Web UI

2min

Inviting users is a very simple process, and takes only a few seconds.

In the upper right corner of the Rootly navigation bar, click your account name, then Invitations.

Enter the email of the team member you want to invite.

All users are invited as regular users, unless you check the administrator option. Note that this should be used sparingly as administrators have access to billing and account functions that regular users do not. This includes adjusting user privileges and inviting new users.

Once you've finished entering the email and optional administrator privileges, click Create Invitation.

When the user signs up, they will have the option of authenticating using a username and password, or sign on through a third-party identity provider such as Google.

Users will need to enter their name, plus organization. Additionally, they will have the option of selecting any teams they want to join during the signup process.
