As a Company or Group Admin, you can invite people to join your platform. Users will be sent email invitations prompting them to join your platform. Their accounts will only be created after they have accepted the invitation by selecting Accept invite in the email.
Inviting users is not possible if your platform uses only Single Sign-On as an authentication method. Please refer to this article instead.
