# Invite a colleague

## Send the invitation

1. Open **Settings → Organization → Users**. [Open in Teamhood](https://app.teamhood.com/go/settings/users)
2. Select **Invite user**.
3. Enter the person's **Email**.
4. Pick a **Role**. The role decides what the person may do once they are in. See [Roles and permissions](../../roles-and-access/roles-and-permissions/).
5. Optionally pick **Teams**. You can change the role and the teams later.
6. Select **Send invite**.

The invitation is emailed for you. The person appears in the Users list immediately with the status **Pending invite**.

## If the email does not arrive

Open the row's actions menu and choose **Copy invite link**. The dialog that confirmed the invitation shows the same link and the date the link expires.

> **Treat the link like a password.** Whoever opens the link can accept the invitation and create the account. Send the link only to the person it is for.

## Withdraw an invitation

Use the row's actions menu to revoke a pending invitation. The link stops working and the row leaves the list.

## If you cannot see the Invite user button

Inviting is part of managing users, which is the **Manage users & teams** row in Settings → Roles. If your role does not have that row, the button is not shown to you at all. Ask an administrator.
