How to invite a Guest to an Organization

When you create a Scaleway account, you are the Owner of your Organization. Two types of users can be added to your Organizaton: Members and Guests.

When you invite someone as a Guest they will create their own Scaleway account, if they do not already have one.

You can define the rights and permissions you want Guests to have in your Organization via policies.

In the next steps we show you how to invite a Guest.

2. Click + Add user. A pop-up displays prompting you to choose between creating a Member or adding a Guest.

   

3. Select Guest and click Continue.

4. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite. If you want to invite more than one user, enter multiple email addresses separated by commas. Optionally, you can also select a group to add the user to.

5. Optionally, add one or more tags.

   Note

   Tags are key/value pairs that help you organize your users. Keep in mind that:

   • You can assign up to 10 tags per user
   • Tag values must be between 1 and 70 characters long, including key and value
   • The same tag cannot be used twice

6. Click Invite to send the invitation. The user receives an email inviting them to accept your invitation. If they do not already have a Scaleway account, they will be prompted to create one first.

7. The user will appear in the list of your Organization’s users once they have accepted the invitation.
