Invite a team member

Give a colleague their own sign-in to your account, then choose what they can open and change.

A team member is a colleague with their own sign-in to your Stack Harbor account. Each member has their own password and two-factor settings, and sees only what you allow. The account owner is the person who created the account. The owner can do everything.

You need the Manage Members permission to open Team Members. The account owner always has it.

Invite someone

  1. Open the account menu at the top right and select Team Members.
  2. Select Invite Member.
  3. Type their First Name, Last Name and Email. For example, Jordan Lee at jordan.lee@example.com.
  4. Select Send Invitation.
  5. If Lighthouse shows Confirm It’s You, type your Current Password, and your two-factor code if Lighthouse asks for it. Then select Verify.
The Invite Member box with First Name, Last Name and Email

What you see afterwards

You see Invitation sent to jordan.lee@example.com. The new member appears in the list with Invite Pending until they set their password. They get an email with a link to set it. See Accept an invitation.

Before they sign in, open their page and choose what they can do. On Infrastructure, a member has no access until you set it. See Manage a team member.

Read the Team Members list

The tiles at the top count Total Members, Active members, Pending Invites and members with 2FA Enabled.

The table shows, for each person:

  • Member: their name and email.
  • Role: Owner or Member.
  • Status: Active, or Closed for a deactivated member. Invite Pending or Invite Expired shows next to it until they finish setting up.
  • 2FA: Enabled if they turned on two-factor authentication, Disabled if not.
  • Last Active: when they last signed in, or Never.
  • Joined: when they were added.

Type in Search by Name or Email… to find someone. Select a row, or View Member, to open their page.

Resend an invitation

If someone didn’t get the email, or their link expired, open the Member Actions menu at the end of their row and select Resend Invite. You see Invite resent.

If something goes wrong

  • If Lighthouse says the member was added but the invitation email could not be sent, the member exists. Use Resend Invite to send the email again.
  • We couldn’t create this member. Please try again. Check the email address. It may already belong to another member.
  • This member has already finished setting up. No new email is needed. They can sign in with their own password.
