Inviting Users
Invite people to your FOSSA organization by email so they can create an account and join automatically.
Overview
Invite teammates to your FOSSA organization by email. Each person you invite receives a link, creates their FOSSA account, and is added to your organization automatically. Inviting users lives under Settings → Organization → Users.
Warning
If your organization authenticates through SSO (or OAuth), email invites are disabled, the Invite Users flow won't appear. Users join through the SSO sign-on workflow instead. To send invites, an administrator must switch the organization's authentication mode away from SSO/OAuth.
