# Invite members and assign roles

## Invite someone

Before you can start building a team, invite others to your shared organization. They do not need to have a helmut.cloud account yet, but they must register before they can start working.

Go to your organization settings and click on "Invitations" in the left-hand menu.

There, you can view existing invitations, check their status, or invite someone to your organization by clicking the "+Invite member" button in the upper right corner.

## Assign roles to members

You can assign a role to a user before sending the invitation by selecting the appropriate role in the invitation dialog.

Once the person accepts the invitation, they will be added to your organization and appear in the "Members" section in the left-hand menu.

With the drop-down in the column "Role", you can set a role for someone. A detailed explanation can be found in [Members and roles](/members-and-teams/members-and-roles.md).
