Manage Organization Users

  • View Active Users and Outgoing Invitations in an Organization
  • Edit User's Role in an Organization
  • Remove Users from an Organization

You can grant Atlas users access to Atlas organizations. Assign user roles to enforce permission levels for Atlas users.

It is recommended that you create a minimum of two users with the Organization Owner role to ensure that access to an organization does not depend on a single user.

Important

Project Invitation Deprecation

The Atlas release on September 13, 2023 deprecates project invitations.

When you invite an organization member to projects within the organization, the user is automatically granted access to those projects and doesn't receive any invitations. When you invite a user to projects in an organization that the user doesn't belong to, the user receives a single invitation to the organization, which includes access to all of the projects that you grant them access to. Invitations expire after 30 days.

To perform any of the following actions, you must have Organization Owner access to Atlas.

Important

Atlas limits Atlas user membership to a maximum of 500 Atlas users per organization.

To invite a user to your organization using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:

atlas users invite [options]

To learn more about the command syntax and parameters, see the Atlas CLI documentation for atlas users invite.
