## Invite Users

To invite users to an organization, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login) and perform the following steps:

1.  Navigate to your desired organization, click the “App Switcher” icon and select **Administration** from the list.
    
2.  Navigate to **Users** and click **Invite User**.![Invite User button on the Users page](https://assets.contentstack.io/spaces/am51d76353d996c1fe/assets/amc1ac8505cb5f63e3/9b35abdd11858c77eb1638df/Invite_User_1.png?locale=en-us)
3.  On the **Invite User** page, enter the email address of the users to invite.
    
    **Note**: The selected roles and permissions will apply to all the email IDs mentioned. To add users with different set of permissions, the ideal approach would be to add them separately.
    
4.  In the **CMS** section, click **Manage Roles**. This opens a sidebar displaying existing stack-role assignments for the selected users.
    
    1.  Select the stacks to which you want to assign roles.
    2.  Choose one or more roles.
    3.  Click **Save** to confirm your selections.
        
        **Note:** If no CMS level roles are selected for the user(s), they will not be able to access any of the stacks.

5.  In the **Administration** section, click **Manage Roles**. The sidebar displays available product roles.
    
    1.  Select the appropriate roles for the users.
    2.  Click **Save** to confirm.
        
        **Note:** To successfully send the invitation, you must assign at least one role from the Administration section.

6.  Once done, click **Invite** to send the invitation.![Invite button sending the invitation](https://assets.contentstack.io/spaces/am51d76353d996c1fe/assets/am1ab71403e15904cb/f1180568686f73458b4f4942/Invite_User_3.png?locale=en-us)

The invited users will receive an email notification. After accepting the invitation, they will be added to the organization with the assigned roles and access.

## Invite Users to SSO-enabled Organizations

For organizations with [Single Sign-On (SSO)](/docs/administration/about-single-sign-on-sso) enabled, the invitation process remains the same. However, if “[Strict Mode](/docs/administration/set-up-sso-in-contentstack)” is disabled, you see the **Allow Access without SSO** checkbox. Select this option to let the invited user access the SSO-enabled organization using their Contentstack credentials instead of IdP credentials.
