To collaborate with your team, you can invite members to your organization. This guide walks you through the invitation process.

> **NOTE: Who can invite members**
>
> The first person to create an account for your organization automatically becomes the Owner. Members with the invite permission, such as Platform Admins and the Owner, can invite new members. See [RBAC](/chainlink-platform/rbac) for the full list of roles.

## Prerequisites

- You must be logged in to [app.chain.link](https://app.chain.link)
- You must have a role that includes the invite permission, such as Platform Admin or Owner

## Step 1: Navigate to Organization settings

In the top navbar, click on your account icon, and then navigate to **Org settings**.

## Step 4: Add team member details

Enter the email address of the person you want to invite, and set their roles for each product. You can only set roles for products that you have access to. If you don't have access to a product, or your role lacks sufficient permissions for it, you won't be able to assign roles or permissions for that product.

## Step 5: Send invitations

Once you've set all the roles you want to define for the invited member, click the **Send invite** button in the bottom right corner.

The invited members will receive an email invitation to join your organization.

## What happens next?

After you send invitations:

1. **Email notification**: Each invited person receives an email with instructions to join your organization
2. **Account creation**: If they don't have a Chainlink Platform account yet, they'll be invited to create one
3. **Automatic membership**: Once they complete account creation, they'll automatically become members of your organization. No additional acceptance step is required.
4. **Access**: They'll immediately have access to your organization's resources, according to the roles you set.
