# How to Invite Members to Your Team

> Follow these steps to invite new members to your Kinship team.

This guide walks you through how to invite people to your team — whether it’s one new colleague or a full list of emails. You’ll learn how to add users,  handle common issues, and manage any pending invites along the way.

***

## What you'll need

Before you begin:

* You must be an **Administrator** or above.
* You’ll need each person’s **work email address**.

<Note>
  Deactivated users cannot be **invited**. If someone was previously removed from the team, you’ll need to [reactivate them](../how-to/reactivate-users) first.
</Note>

***

## 1. Open the Invite dialog

Open the user menu in the top-right corner and select "Invite people to..."

A dialog opens where you can add one or more email addresses.

***

## 2. Add email addresses

You can type or paste in as many emails as you like.

* Use any of these separators: **space, comma, semicolon, or line break**.
* After each email, press **Space**, **Enter**, or type a **comma**. Each one will convert into a small gray “chip”.
* Once you have at least one valid chip, the **Invite** button at the bottom will become active.

***

## 3. Clean up duplicates

If any of the addresses are **already part of your team**, a hint is shown.

Click **Remove duplicates** to clear those addresses from the list.

***

## 4. Send the invites

Once you’ve got a clean list of email chips, click **Invite**.

Each person will receive an email invite to join your team.

* For non-SSO teams, this includes a secure sign-up link.
* For SSO teams, the link simply directs users to your team’s homepage. They’ll still need to be present in your identity provider to access the team.

***

## 5. Track and manage invites

You can review all pending invitations by going to:

**Team** → **Browse Invitations** → **See All**

From here you can:

* **Resend** invites if someone didn’t get it
* **Revoke** invites (as long as they haven’t been accepted yet)
* **Send installation help** to help users get started

<Note>
  Once an invite is accepted, it can’t be revoked.\
  If needed, you can [deactivate the user](../how-to/deactivate-users).
</Note>

***

## 7. Change their role

All new users are assigned the **Team Member** role by default.\
If you want to change their role (e.g. make them an Admin), wait until they’ve accepted and set up their profile.

Then go to the Team tab, click the <img className="inline not-prose" src="https://mintcdn.com/kinship/Z6_YqpQ7H1cY778e/images/btn-more-grey.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Z6_YqpQ7H1cY778e&q=85&s=52dfbd6265e4489c71b091ecb57a4110" alt="More menu button" width="16" height="16" data-path="images/btn-more-grey.png" /> menu button next to their name, and choose **Change role**.

| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Invite button stays disabled** | Make sure each email has turned into a chip.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| **"Existing member" warning**    | Click **Remove duplicates** and try again. If you are still seeing the warning, double-check that the user has not been deactivated in the past. If needed, [reactivate the user](../how-to/reactivate-users) instead. |
