Admins can invite as many people into the Room as required. The Guest Room role can only be added within the External or Buy Side menu. Internal roles can be added in the Internal or Sell Side menu.

Once a Team has been created, you can then add in people. Learn how to create a Team here.

First section is for simple guidance and the second would be for more detailed descriptions and suggestions for internal and external users.

Section 1 - Quick Guide

Go to the three dots to the right of the team, select "Add people"

The below pop up will appear

Choose the Room role and Q&A role.

Copy and paste the email of the person you wish to add, you can add multiple people in one go, just put their emails on a separate line in the email for each person box, they will be added to the same team with the same role.

2 options from here, if you want to just add the address to the team but not send out the invite, select add. If wanting to invite the person/people, check the box for Send email invitations and then add and invite.

You can see in the teams who has been invite and who has current not.

If the person has logged in instead of invited or not invited, you will see the number of times they logged in, if you click that number it would take you to the activity log by person of that user.
