#Adding users to an organization/space

System admins can add users to any organization. Others can add users to organizations they manage. If the user does not already have a user account on the platform, TAP generates an invitation email to the user.

Here are the steps to invite a user to an existing organization:

1. Navigate to User management and click on Manage organization users.

2. Choose an organization from the dropdown menu at the upper right of the screen.

3. Choose the Add user tab.

4. Enter the email address of the user you wish to add.

5. For most users, do not select a Role (the default None is appropriate for most users). For some users, select the appropriate Manager/Auditor role.

6. Click the Add user button.

For existing platform users, TAP will notify you that the user has been added to the organization. But you must notify the user of this addition, as TAP does not send any notifications.

If the user does not yet have a TAP account, TAP sends an email invitation to the user. For the user view of this process, read about xxx here.

A similar flow applies to inviting users to a space, but you need to start with Manage space users in step 1 and choose both the organization and space from the dropdown menus in the upper right of the screen in step 2, as shown below.

4. Confirm the deletion.

5. TAP deletes the organization (or space) and displays a confirmation message in the upper right of the screen. Refresh your browser after several seconds to see the deletion reflected on the screen.
