Invite teammates to Release Ops, track pending invitations and remove accounts that no longer need access.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- You are signed in to Release Ops.
There is no public sign-up. Every account beyond the first one is created through an invitation. All signed-in users have the same permissions, so any user can invite and remove others.
Open Settings and select Users to reach this page.
Invite a user
Section titled “Invite a user”- Click Invite user.
- Enter the person’s Email.
- Click Create invitation.
- Click the Copy invite link icon and send the link to the person.
- Close the dialog.
Result: The invitation appears under Pending invitations until the person accepts it or it expires.
Copy the link before you close the dialog. Release Ops shows the link only once. If you lose it, revoke the invitation and create a new one.
The person opens the link, chooses a password and is signed in. See Signing in.
Send the invitation by email
Section titled “Send the invitation by email”If your administrator has set up outgoing email for Release Ops, you can send the invitation from the list:

- Click the Send invitation email icon.
