Copy link or 
Download QR code, and share it with your team members for them to join your organization.
Please take note of the following for the invite link:
When a team member joins via the link, they'll be prompted to either join your organization using an existing SafetyCulture account or sign up for a new one.
If your organization is on the Premium Plan or Enterprise Plan, users will join as users in guest seats and have the default permission set for guest seats. You can change their seat type at any time.
You can disable the invite link at any time. However, once the link is disabled, the next link and QR code you generate will be new ones, rather than reactivation of the old ones. This means that you would need to share the new link and QR code again for team members to join.
You can only bulk add up to 25,000 users in total per CSV upload and can only add up to 3,000 users to full seats at once.
Frequently asked questions
A user is each person who logs in to SafetyCulture. Each user has a user account and a username which, in SafetyCulture, is their email address. To access SafetyCulture's features, each user requires a seat. Depending on each user's seat type, the cost and features they can access vary.
If you need to make seats available for new users, you can deactivate or remove existing users beforehand. If your organization is on the Premium Plan or Enterprise Plan, don't forget that you can also change the seat type for users.
