Invite new users
You can invite users to join your organization by sending out email invitations,
or creating reusable invitation links to share.
Prior to inviting users to your organization, it is recommended that administrators:
When you invite users, you can:
- Set the role that they will have when
they join.
- Configure which channels they will be
subscribed to. The organization's default
channels will be preselected.
- Configure which groups they will be added to.
Organization administrators can
configure who
is allowed to invite users to the organization. You will only see an Invite
users menu option if you have permission to invite users.

Note: As an anti-spam measure, the number of email invitations
you can send in a day is limited on the Zulip Cloud Free plan. If
you hit the limit and need to invite more users, consider creating an
