Invite Users

An administrator with the Super User role can add users to an organization from the Paragon Automation GUI. Depending on whether SMTP is configured or not, two different workflows exist for adding users to an organization in Paragon Automation. See Configure SMTP Settings in Paragon Shell.

To invite users to an organization in Paragon Automation when SMTP is configured, see Invite Users when SMTP is Enabled. The user must accept the invitation within seven days, after which the invitation expires.

Note:

A new user without an invite can create an account from the login page of the Paragon Automation Web GUI, when SMTP is configured. See, Log in as a New User for the First Time Without an Invite (when SMTP is Configured).

To add users to an organization in Paragon Automation when SMTP is not configured, see Invite Users When SMTP is Disabled and Local Authentication is Enabled.
