# Inviting Users

Administrators can invite new students and staff by generating a unique invite link.

## Generating an Invite Link

1. Go to **Invite** (`/admin/invite`).
2. Choose whether to invite a **student** or a **staff member**.
3. Click **Generate link**.
4. Copy the link and share it directly with the person, or copy the short invite code.

The link is single-use and expires after a set period. Once used, the invited person completes the sign-up flow and their account is linked to your institution automatically.

## Tracking Incoming Users

The **Invite** page shows two tables:

* **Incoming** — people who have received a link but have not yet completed sign-up.
* **Existing** — users who have already completed the process through this invite system.

You can revoke a pending invite by clicking the trash icon next to an incoming record.

## Notes

* You must have the `administrator` permission to access this page.
* An invite link is tied to your institution's tenant — it cannot be used to join a different organization.
