Invite team members

In order to see a project and work in it, you have to be a member of a project. Therefore, you have to add team members to a project.

Note: If you are not a member of a project, you do not see the project in the Project selection nor in the project list.

Add existing members

To add existing users to a project, select the project where you want to add members. In the project menu on the left, select the Members menu item.

In the Members list you will get an overview of the current members of this project.

Click the green + Member button in the top right corner.

Type in the name of the team member which you want to add. You can also choose several members at once. Assign a role to the new member(s) and click the blue Add button.

Invite new members

You can also invite new members who have not yet an OpenProject account. Select the project where you want to add members. In the project menu on the left, select the Members menu item.

Type in the email address of the new member. If OpenProject does not find an existing user, the Invite information will automatically be put before the email address. Assign a role to this new member and click the blue Add button.

An e-mail invitation will be sent out to the user with a link to create an account for OpenProject.

You can now collaborate with your team in OpenProject.
