Add an Organization Member to your Organization

Last modified: October 26th, 2026

Permissions required

Members of the Owners and Developers Default Permission Groups, or Custom Permission Groups with the group:member:write permission, can add Organization Members to your Organization.

To collaborate with someone in CloudCannon, invite them to your Organization as a Organization Member. When you invite them, you assign them to one or more Permission Groups, which control what they can access.

Only members of the Owners Permission Group and the Partner Permission Group can add Organization Members to the Owners Group.

To add an Organization Member to your Organization:

  1. Navigate to the People page under Org Settings.
  2. Under the Members tab, click the Add members button on the right. CloudCannon will open the Invite Organization Members modal.
  3. In the Email address field, enter the email address of the person you want to add to your Organization.
  4. In the Groups field, select the Permission Group(s) to which you want to add this Organization Member. You must select at least one.
  5. Click the Add member(s) button.

CloudCannon will send an email to your pending Organization Members, inviting them to your Organization. If someone does not have a CloudCannon account, this email will prompt them to create one. While you wait for them to accept the invitation, their name will appear in the list of Pending Members under the Members tab of the People page.

The Invite Organization Members modal

Adding a new Organization Member may cause your Organization to exceed the number of Organization Members included in your Subscription Plan. If adding an Organization Member takes your Organization over that number, CloudCannon shows a Confirm Billing Change modal before the invite goes out.

A screenshot of the Confirm Billing Change modal shows a message that adding a new Organization Member will increase your monthly bill once they accept the invitation, with Cancel and Accept Billing Increase buttons.

Accepting that modal adds a seat to your Subscription Plan. Your bill increases once the new Organization Member accepts their invite, with the first month prorated. Turning on Guest Access for a Site takes a seat in the same way, however many Guests use that Site's password. Anyone who can add Organization Members can accept this change, so it does not require separate billing permissions.

If you need to re-send or cancel an invitation to a pending member, select the Re-send invitation or Cancel invitation options from the Context Menu at the top right of the member card.

You can paste a list of email addresses into the Invite Organization Members modal to quickly add multiple members to your Organization. When you enter multiple Organization Members and multiple Permission Groups, CloudCannon will add all members to all Groups.

If your Organization is a Client Organization on an extended Free Trial through the CloudCannon Partner Program, CloudCannon shows a Confirm End of Trial modal before the invite goes out. Accepting it shortens that Free Trial so that it ends five days after the new Organization Member accepts their invitation. You or your client need to add a payment method within those five days. For more information, please read our documentation on how billing works in the Partner Program.
