# Invite members

> How to bring people into the organization and which role to give each one.

An on-call schedule only works with people in it. Invite at least your responders before connecting your monitoring tools.

## Inviting

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Members">
    In the dashboard, go to **Members**. Owners and admins can invite.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the email and role">
    The invite goes out by email with an acceptance link. Choose the role carefully — see the table below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The person accepts">
    On acceptance they create an account (or sign in to an existing one) and become an active member of the organization.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  For larger teams, the dashboard supports bulk invites via CSV — useful when migrating from another on-call tool.

<Warning>
  Every active member and every pending invite consumes a seat on your plan. Once the limit is reached, new invites are rejected. See [Plans and limits](/en/reference/plans-and-limits).
