Invite users
If you have the required permissions, you can invite a new user to join a project from the "+ Add user" button in the user panel.
A window will open where you can add the email address of one or more users you want to invite:
The users invited will appear in "Pending" status until they accept the invitation through the link they will receive in their email when the invitation is sent. Even if the users are in “Pending” status, you can assign them the roles you want and as soon as they accept the invitation they will access with the corresponding role.
If you want to cancel an invitation, you can do so from the 3-dot icon by selecting the "Cancel invitation" option.
Once the user has accepted the invitation, the "Pending" status will be cleared.
