# Invite a member

> An address, a role, a link valid for seven days. Members and Sparks belong to the organization, not to a project. An existing account accepts or declines.

Updated 2026-09-29

joli.studio has two levels and not one more: the **organization**, which holds its projects, its members and its Sparks; and the **project**, which holds a brand, its strategy, its posts and its tracking. So nobody is invited “to a project”: you invite them into an organization, and they see every project in it.

## Inviting

1. **Open the organization’s page**

   Click the project card at the top of the sidebar: the menu’s **Organization** section has a line with your organization’s name, which opens its page, and **Invite someone**, which goes straight to the **Members** tab with the email field ready. The page carries the organization’s name and four tabs: **Projects**, **Members**, **Sparks and plan** and **Settings**. From two active projects on, **Projects**, in the sidebar group named after the organization, opens this page too (next to [**Overview** and **Schedule**](/en/guide/see-all-your-projects/)).

2. **Fill in the “Invite” card**

   In the **Members** tab, the **Invite** card asks for an **Email** and a **Role**. That is all. Your own address just has to be confirmed: until it is, the invitation is refused.

3. **Pass the link along**

   If email sending is set up, an email goes out with the link, and the link isn’t shown: only the invited person reads it, in their inbox. If it isn’t, the app says so plainly — “Email sending isn’t set up: share the link yourself.” — and only then does it show the link to copy.

An address that doesn’t have an account yet creates one by opening the link, and lands straight in the organization.

Inviting someone who is already a member is refused: “… is already a member of the organization.” To change their role, use the menu on their row.

Invitations are counted: twenty a day per organization at most, revoked ones included, and three a day for the same address. Past that, the invitation waits until the next day.

## If the person already has an account

Nobody joins an organization without accepting. When the address already has a joli.studio account, the card says so: “This address already has an account: the invitation is waiting for them in joli.studio. They only join the organization once they accept.”

The invitation waits for them in three places:

- an **email**, “… invites you to …”, with a **View invitation** button;
- the notification **bell**, which leads to the same page;
- a **card at the top of the Organizations page** (organization switcher › **All organizations**), showing who invited them, the role offered and the expiry.

They pick **Join** or **Decline**. Joining takes them into the organization with the role you chose; their own organizations stay theirs. Until their address is confirmed, neither the bell nor the card announces it: the link in the email is enough.

> **One link, one address**
>
> The invitation is tied to the invited address. Opened from another account, the page says so — “This invitation is for a different address” — and offers **Switch account**. Signed out, it offers **Sign in to accept**, then comes back to the invitation.

## Two roles, no more

- **Admin** — creates projects and manages the team and credits: that is the exact wording shown under the member list. Only an admin changes the plan, tops up, or archives and deletes the organization.
- **Member** — works inside the projects: brand, strategy, posts, export, tracking. They can read the Spark balance and the history of operations, but not change them.

A member row’s menu switches someone from one role to the other (**Make admin**, **Make member**), or does **Remove from organization**. A member can also leave on their own: **Leave organization**.

> **Forgot a password?**
>
> Everyone gets back in on their own: when signing in, “Forgot?” sends a link to their own address. Nobody else sees it — not an organization admin, not the joli.studio team.

## Pending invitations

Until it is accepted, an invitation sits in the **Pending invitations** list, with its role, its expiry and who sent it. Two buttons: **Copy link** and **Revoke**. For an address that already has an account, only **Revoke** remains: the invitation is waiting for them in joli.studio.

> **Copying the link creates a new one**
>
> joli.studio only stores a hash of the invitation token, never the link itself. So **Copy link** mints a fresh link, resets the seven days, and invalidates the old one — the app warns you: “The previous link no longer works; this one is valid for 7 days.” If you had already sent the first one, send the new one too.

A **declined** invitation stays in the list, marked **Declined** (“declined … ago”), so you know. It can’t be sent again: **Remove** clears it. To invite the same address again, go back to the **Invite** card; the new invitation replaces the old one.

## How many members

Each plan comes with its own number of members and active projects: **Trial** 2 and 3, **Atelier** 3 and 3, **Studio** 10 and 10, **Pro** unlimited.

The member count is enforced: past it, **Invite** is refused — “The Atelier plan allows 3 members at most. Switch plans to invite more.” — with **See plans** under the form. Invitations still waiting for an answer already take their seat: revoking one frees it. The refusal also applies on the way in: if the last seat is taken in the meantime, the invitation page says so instead of offering **Join**. The **Trial** plan counts two people: enough to try it together before picking a plan.

Switching plans never removes anyone: an organization that ends up over its limit keeps its members, it simply adds no more.

> **Several organizations are fine**
>
> An agency can keep one organization per client, each with its own plan, members and Spark balance. You can create up to three yourself: see [Create another organization](/en/guide/create-another-organization/). **Switch organization**, in the project menu, moves between them, and **My account** lists everything you belong to and your role in each.
