Introduction
You can invite anyone with a company, or personal, email address or mobile number through the Admin Portal. Emails and mobile numbers are unique to each account. Once an account has been invited it can be reinvited at any time but only once per hour.
Only Organization Admins and Team Admins have the ability to invite users. Organization Admins have the ability to invite anyone to any Team. Team Admins can only invite users to the Teams they are apart of. This is explained further below.

FAQs
I am a Team Admin, who can I invite?
You can invite anyone but only to certain Teams.
Let’s make a clear example – I am a Team Admin over Team A but not a Team Admin over Team B. Therefore, I can add Team A to any invite but not Team B.
A user’s details are already in use.
If a user’s details are already in use then they cannot be invited until they have been removed. Please reach out to us, support@joinblink.com for support in dealing with this.
