Getting Everyone on Board¶

This tutorial covers how an organization invites additional members after the initial setup.

Inviting members¶

Users with the workspace administrator role can invite new members.

1. Open Settings → Administration → Members.
2. Under "Invite new members", enter one or more email addresses (comma-separated).
3. Click Invite.

Invited users receive an email with a link to create their account independently.

For more details, see Member management.

Preparing groups¶

Before inviting people, it helps to clarify the group structure.

Every workspace includes a default group called All. It serves as the starting point for every organization.

There are two approaches:

1. Create groups upfront — The organization already knows its structure and those responsible create the groups before inviting people.
2. Decide together (recommended) — Use the "All" group to work out the structure collaboratively:
   • Create a topic: "What groups do we need?"
   • Optionally another: "What project groups do we need?"
   • Use the live editor to list proposed groups, members, and responsibilities.
   • Reach a decision using Rhizome's own decision modes.

Assigning members to groups¶

Once groups are created, members need to be assigned. Only users with the manager or admin role within a group can add members. Regular members do not have this permission.

For more information, see Group management.

Tips for a smooth start¶

• Give groups descriptive names and descriptions.
• Assign distinctive icons and colors to groups for easy visual differentiation.
• Point new members to the Rhizome documentation and introductory video.
