From /settings/team, click Invite. The slide-over asks for three things.
1

Email

Required. This is how they are invited and how they are matched to a sign-in identity when they arrive.
2

Full name

Optional but worth filling in. Without it there is nothing to show on their row until they sign in and fill in their own profile — the column renders addresses and the feature looks broken.Asked for here, shown on the pending row in the same shape as a member row.
3

Role

Defaults to member. See Roles and permissions.

​
They are a member from that moment

There is no separate invitations table and no separate list on screen. An invitation is a member with status: invited and no user id yet. The row is in the same table, in the same list, with the same role. What invited records is that they have not signed in yet.

​
What happens when they sign in

The first time they sign in with that address, the row is claimed: user_id is filled in, status becomes active, and they join your account with the role you gave them — rather than being handed an empty account of their own and wondering where the team went. Matching is on the address, because that is the only thing an invite and a brand-new identity have in common: the row was written before the person existed.
No email is sent yet. Tell them to sign in with that exact address. The delivery job is separate work; the membership is real either way.

​
Re-inviting

Inviting someone who is still waiting refreshes their invite — the role and the timestamp update, and their name is only overwritten if you type a new one. Re-inviting without typing the name again does not erase the name already on the row. Inviting someone who is already active is refused. They are already here.

​
Who can invite

Admin or higher. Only an owner can invite someone as an owner. Otherwise an admin could promote themselves by inviting their own address back at a higher role.

​
Withdrawing an invitation

Remove the row. It is the same operation as removing a member, because it is the same row. See Manage the team.
