  5. If the user is a Manager, define the People Access and Projects Access.

  6. If the user to be invited is a Manager,

    • Manage People is On

      • From the People (All) Tab, select the people to be managed by the user (All or Restricted).

      • If Restricted is selected, add the people's names under Managed People.

      • You can bulk add multiple people by adding their email addresses, comma-separated. E.g. "alex@runn.io, annie@runn.io" and press Enter

      • The email address must have been added as Person Details to the Person

Manage Invitations

The new invitation will appear under Manage > Users > Invitations until the user accepts the invite and registers their account:

What happens after an invitation expires?

The Invitation link expires after 7 days. If the invitee clicks on the link after 7 days, they will automatically receive a new email with a new link to register for the account:

💡Pro tip: Admins do not need to resend the invitation after it has expired. The invitee can still use the link in the email to generate a new invitation link.

Resend or Cancel an invitation

You can resend or cancel a pending invite by clicking on the 3-dot icon next to the invitation expiry date:

Once cancelled, Runn invalidates the link in the email invite, and the user will no longer be able to create an account.

Users can still join the account even if the invitation link has expired. You must cancel the invitation if you do not want the user to join your Runn account.

Bulk Invite Users via CSV

If you have a lot of users to invite at once, use our CSV tool to invite new users.
