Invite your team

Dashboards are better shared. You invite people by email and choose what they can do at the moment you invite them. Requires the Administrator tier (T7) or above.

Sending an invite​

  1. Open the Members & roles page from the Admin section of the sidebar.
  2. Enter the person's email address.
  3. Pick their tier -- Viewer (T1) for someone who only reads dashboards, Explorer (T2) for someone who builds from existing datasets, Builder (T4) for someone who writes SQL, and so on up the ladder. See Members and roles for what each tier can do.
  4. Select Invite.

The page shows a seat bar per billable tier, so you can see how many seats are in use before you invite.

What the invitee experiences​

They receive an email invitation from Flynt. Following the link takes them to sign-up (or sign-in, if they already have an account), and they land in your organisation with the tier you chose already applied -- no second step where you assign permissions after the fact. Until they accept, they appear on the Members & roles page with an Invited badge.

Pending invites hold a seat​

A pending invite occupies a seat at its tier from the moment it is sent. That is deliberate: if you invite five people into your last seat, only the first can land. Revoking a pending invite frees its seat immediately.

If you invite someone into a billable tier that is already full, Flynt does not silently fail -- it tells you the tier is full and offers to add a seat (with the price change spelled out) before retrying the invite. Seat purchasing and the over-limit rules are covered in Inviting and seats.

Changing your mind​

  • Revoke a pending invite from the Members & roles page; the email link stops working and the seat frees up.
  • Once someone has joined, you change their tier from the same page rather than re-inviting them.

Good to know​

  • Each member's tier is chosen per person; there is no org-wide default you have to work around.
  • An email address can only have one pending invite at a time.

That completes the path from empty organisation to shared dashboard. From here, the Building section goes deeper on each piece.
