The written steps below are complete. The Video script tab shows exactly what the video will cover.

People get access one project at a time. You invite them by email from the project, say whether they are on your team or a client, and choose a role that decides what they can do.

By the end you can

  • Invite one person, or up to 50 at once
  • Choose between Employee and External client
  • Resend or cancel an invitation that has not been accepted

Screens used

  • Project, Members

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Members

    On: Project, Members

    Open the project, then open the Ops hub and choose Members.

    You should see: A list of the people in this project and an Invite member button.

  2. 2

    Start an invitation

    On: Project, Members

    Press Invite member. A window titled Invite teammates opens with two tabs: Single and Bulk (up to 50).

    You should see: The Single tab shows an Email address field.

  3. 3

    Say who they are

    On: Project, Members

    Type the Email address. Under Who are you inviting? choose Employee for someone on your team, or External client for the customer. A client gets read-only portal access and does not appear in your team list or HR pages.

    You should see: One of the two cards is highlighted.

  4. 4

    Choose the role

    On: Project, Members

    Open Role and choose what they do: Admin, Manager, Editor, Writer, Reviewer, Analyst, CRM or Backlink Executive. Give the smallest role that lets them do their job. A freelance writer should be a Writer, not an Editor.

    You should see: The role you chose shows in the field.

  5. 5

    Add a note and send

    On: Project, Members

    Add a Welcome note (optional) so they know why they are being invited, then press Send invite.

    You should see: "Invitation created" with an Invitation link you can copy. The link expires in 7 days.

  6. 6

    Watch for the acceptance

    On: Project, Members

    Press Done. Until the person accepts, they appear under Pending. From there you can refresh the link for another 7 days, or Cancel the invitation.

    You should see: The person is listed under Pending, and moves into Members once they accept.

Tips

  • For many people at once use Bulk (up to 50): paste the addresses one per line or separated by commas. Everyone gets the same role and note; people who are already members are skipped.
  • Refreshing an invitation makes a new link. The old link stops working.

Troubleshooting

The person says the link has expired.
Open Members, find them under Pending and refresh the invitation, then send them the new link.
A teammate accepted but cannot see another project.
Access is per project. Invite them from that project's Members page as well.
