Add a member to an organization or team

Invite members to join an organization and collaborate on managing social accounts. You can add members to organizations and teams. And then you can assign individual members or teams access to one or more social accounts.

If you have not created an organization, see the following:

• Get started with your Hootsuite Team plan
• Get started with Hootsuite Business and Enterprise

Invite a member to an organization

Once you've got your organization and teams set up, organization Super admins and Admins can invite members to them. The members you invite receive their invitation by email. If they don't have a Hootsuite account, we'll prompt them to set one up. If an invitee needs to create an account password, they can use the following link: hootsuite.com/reset-password.

1. Go to Account, and then select Social accounts and teams.
2. To add a member to a specific organization, select Manage next to that organization.
3. Select Invite members.
   

4. Enter email addresses, separated by commas. Optionally, include a message, and then add the member to a team. The members you've invited receive an email invitation. If they do not have a Hootsuite account, they will be prompted to set one up. You can select Settings for any member to add that member to a team or set their permissions.

Once you add a member to a team, you are prompted to share streams and boards with them. Select the streams and boards, and then select Copy Streams. This ensures the new member is set up to collaborate when they join the organization.

Invitees are prompted to accept the shared streams when they sign in to their Hootsuite accounts. If they reject this prompt, they will need to set up their own streams and boards.

Manage invitations

You can check to see if your invitees have accepted their invitation and activated their accounts. Pending invites only show people who don't already have their own Hootsuite accounts.

1. Go to Account, and then select Social accounts and teams.
2. Select the three dots beside the organization name and then select View Pending Invites.
   

Add a member to a team

Once you've added a member to an organization, you can further organize your members into teams. You can then assign whole teams specific tasks and permissions in Hootsuite.

1. Go to Account, and then select Social accounts and teams.
2. To add a member to a specific team in an organization, do the following:
   • Enterprise and Business plan members - Select Teams in the organization.
   • Team plan members - Select Manage next to the team in the organization.
3. Select the team from the list of teams, and then select Add a Member.
4. Select an existing organization member from the list, or select Add new member to invite a new member to the team.
