Invitations
Overview
The Invitations feature is the primary way to add new members to your organization in LogCentral. Organization owners can invite users by email address and assign them specific roles, while users can view and respond to invitations they've received. This system helps you build and manage your team's access to your organization's logs and resources.
Understanding Invitation Roles
When inviting users to your organization, you can assign one of four roles:
Owner: Full control over the organization, including the ability to manage users and settings
Member: Standard access to organization features and logs
Reader: Read-only access to view logs and data without making changes
Billing: Access to manage billing and subscription settings
Choose the role that matches the level of access each team member needs.
Invitation Statuses
Invitations move through different states as they're processed:
Pending: The invitation has been sent and is waiting for the user's response
Accepted: The user has joined your organization
Rejected: The user declined the invitation
Cancelled: You cancelled the invitation before it was accepted
Expired: The invitation passed its time limit without being accepted
Managing Organization Invitations
Organization owners can manage invitations from the Users page within their organization settings. This is where you'll send new invitations and track their status.
Viewing Invitations
The Organization Invitations section displays all invitations you've sent. You can filter the view to see:
All invitations
Pending invitations only
Accepted invitations
Rejected invitations
Cancelled invitations
Expired invitations
Each invitation card shows the recipient's email, assigned role, and current status.
Cancelling Pending Invitations
If you need to revoke an invitation before it's accepted, you can cancel pending invitations. This is useful if you sent an invitation by mistake or if circumstances have changed.
Responding to Invitations
When someone invites you to join their organization, you'll receive an invitation that you can accept or reject. Managing your invitations helps you control which organizations you're part of and what access you grant.
Viewing Your Invitations
Access your invitations page to see all pending invitations you've received. Each invitation displays:
The organization name
The role you're being offered
Who sent the invitation
When the invitation expires
You'll also see a history of past invitations, including those you've accepted, rejected, or that have expired.
Accepting or Rejecting Invitations
For each pending invitation, you can:
Accept the invitation to join the organization with the assigned role
Reject the invitation if you don't want to join
Once you accept an invitation, you'll immediately gain access to that organization according to your assigned role.
Best Practices
Review roles carefully: Make sure you're assigning the appropriate access level when inviting users
Monitor pending invitations: Check regularly for invitations that haven't been accepted and follow up if needed
Clean up expired invitations: Resend invitations that have expired if the user still needs access
Use Reader role for external stakeholders: When sharing access with partners or clients who only need to view data
