# Invite a user

Chapter: Running the shop
Who this is for: Shop owner.
Trigger: A new hire needs counter access.

## What the clip says

Settings, Users, Invite user. A name, an email, and a role. Shop admin or Counter. Send invite. The new row sits pending until they accept.

Only a shop owner sees the Users tab. Send a new hire an invite with their name, email, and role, and they show
up on the table as invited until they sign in and accept.

## Steps

- Settings, **Users** tab. 

- Click **Invite user**.

- Fill **Name**, **Email**, and **Role**. Role is **Shop admin** or **Counter**; there is no Technician choice on screen. 

- Click **Send invite**. The new row reads invited until they sign in and accept.

## What happens to money and stock

Nothing moves.

## Watch out for

- Role choices are Shop admin or Counter only. Technician is not a UI option, it is an alias of Counter.
- A blank email shows "Enter an email address." A duplicate or bad one shows whatever the shop's own message says, or "Could not send that invite. Try again."

## Not yet

No bulk invite. Each person is invited one at a time, by hand.
