Invite members

To let colleagues use your apps, invite their email addresses to the workspace. Choose a role based on whether they will only use apps or also build and update them.

Owners and Admins can invite members on all plans. The process is complete when the recipient accepts and you can confirm their membership on the Members page.

Choose a role

The allowance for people who build and manage apps is called Developers seats. App Users do not use these seats.

Person you are inviting	Role	Developers seat
Someone who uses apps	App User	Not used
Someone who builds and deploys apps	Developer	Used
Someone who also manages members	Admin	Used
Someone who shares responsibility for the workspace	Owner	Used

Admins cannot invite someone as an Owner. Developers and App Users cannot invite other users.

An invitation for a Developer, Admin, or Owner reserves one Developers seat when sent, even before the recipient accepts it. You cannot invite someone to these roles when the seat limit has been reached. You can invite any number of App Users regardless of available seats.

Send invitations (Owner / Admin)

Open Members in the console and select Invite Member.
Enter email addresses (up to 50 at a time).
Choose a role.
Select Send Invitations.

Each recipient automatically receives an email with an invitation link. The results screen shown immediately afterward also lets you copy links to share directly. If you close that screen and later need a link, use Resend invitation on the Members page to issue and share a new one.

Invitations expire 3 days (72 hours) after creation.

Accept an invitation

Open the link in the email.
Sign in with a Google or Microsoft account using the invited email address, or use a one-time code sent by email.

Signing in automatically accepts the invitation. If you are already signed in with the invited address, opening the email link joins the workspace immediately.

If you are signed in with a different email address, sign in again with the invited one.

The apps you can use after joining depend on app permissions. By default, every member can use every app.

The person sending the invitation should also send the app URL in chat or email. Invitation emails do not include app URLs.

App Users cannot access the console’s app list or management pages. After joining, they see a message directing them to ask the person who invited them for an app URL.

Manage invitations

On the Members page, people who have not accepted their invitation appear as Pending; those who have joined appear as Active.

Revoke invalidates an invitation that has not been accepted.
Resend issues a new link for an invitation that has not been accepted. The old link becomes invalid, and the new one expires 3 days (72 hours) after resending.
For an expired or revoked invitation, create a new invitation for the same address.

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to check
You cannot create an invitation	Are you an Owner or Admin? Has the person already joined? For Developer, Admin, or Owner invitations, is a seat available?
The email does not arrive	Check spam. If it is still missing, copy the link from the results screen and share it. If that screen is closed, use Resend invitation to issue a new link
The recipient cannot accept	Are they signed in with the invited address? Has the invitation expired or been revoked?
The person joined but cannot open an app	Check app view permission, the signed-in account, and IP restrictions

Other ways to join

To let people with your company’s email domain join without individual invitations, configure Domains and Join Policies (Team and above).
