Inviting Your Team

Learn how to add team members to Equip, send invite emails, and help team members sign in for the first time.

Written by MaryGrace Flores

Team Members are the staff, administrators, supporters, mentors, guides, and other roles who use Equip to support your program. Add one Team Member at a time when you need to create an individual account, or use import when you are onboarding several Team Members at once.


📄 How It Works

  1. Open your profile photo or initials in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Team Members.

  3. Select Add Team Member.

  4. Enter the Team Member’s Name, Email, Role, and optional Title.

  5. Choose whether to keep Send Invite Email enabled.

  6. If the selected role supports optional browser access, review Enable Web Access.

  7. For designated-access roles, choose the participants this Team Member should support.

  8. Select Add Team Member to save the account.


🔐 What the Team Member Sees First

  • If Send Invite Email is enabled, Equip sends the Team Member an invitation email.

  • If the account requires SSO, the invitation page shows the enabled SSO buttons, such as Sign in with Google or Sign in with Microsoft, instead of the password setup form.

  • If SSO is enabled but not required, the invitation page may show SSO buttons plus the standard profile and password setup form.

  • If SSO is not required and the Team Member uses email and password, they complete their profile, set a password, and select Save and Continue.

  • After the invitation is accepted, Equip marks the Team Member active for the account. Browser access still depends on their role and web access settings.


📨 Sending Invites in Bulk

Use the Send Invite batch action when team members already exist in Equip and need invitation emails sent or resent in bulk.

  1. Open Team Members.

  2. Select Batch Actions.

  3. Choose Send Invite.

  4. Select the eligible team members.

  5. Select Send Invite in the action bar.


⚙️ Options

  • Send Invite Email emails the Team Member an invitation to set up their account. Team Members who receive an invite cannot access Equip until they accept it.

  • Skipping the invite email creates the Team Member without sending an email and marks the account active immediately.

  • Enable Web Access appears only for roles where browser access is optional, such as Supporter-style roles. Admin and Owner-style roles always have web access, so the toggle is hidden for those roles.

  • Supported Participants appears for roles limited to designated participants.


💡 Best Practices

  • Confirm the Team Member’s email address before sending the invite.

  • Confirm the Team Member’s role before saving so their permissions are correct from the start.

  • Leave Send Invite Email on when the Team Member should set up their own login immediately.

  • Turn Send Invite Email off when you need to stage Team Members before launch.

  • For SSO accounts, make sure the Team Member’s Equip email matches their Google or Microsoft identity.

What if the account requires SSO?
