How to Invite Organization Team Members

TL;DR

Organization invites (Team & Settings) are best for organization managers and board members. Enter Email address and click Send invitation. One access level for now: org admin to this organization workspace. Auction invites (TOOLS, then Invite Team) are for event-specific staff and volunteers (Staff or Volunteer). Do not invite night-of volunteers to the organization. If a previous admin leaves, invite a new org admin and remove the old one.

There are two different invites in CharityAuctions. Pick the invite that matches their role so you do not invite event volunteers into the organization by mistake.

  1. Organization invite (this article): best for organization managers and board members. Use Team & Settings. One access level for now: org admin. They get access to this organization workspace.
  2. Auction invite (one campaign only): best for event-specific staff and volunteers. Use TOOLS, then Invite Team, inside Campaign Hub. Access level Staff or Volunteer. See How to Add or Edit Auction Administrators.

Do not use the organization invite for night-of volunteers or people who only need one auction. Invite those people to the auction instead.

Invite organization managers and board members

Use this path for organization managers and board members. Do not invite night-of volunteers here.

  1. Open Organization Home. If you landed on Auction Campaigns after login, click Organization Home in the left nav.

  4. The page heading is Keep the organization and the people who run it in one place.
  5. Under Manage team members, enter Email address (placeholder you@example.com).

They receive a link to sign in or register, then get access to this organization workspace. There is one access level for now: org admin. There is no role selector on this form.

If no one has been invited yet, status can show No teammates invited yet.
