Invite new users
There are a number of ways to grant access to your Zulip organization; the article below describes each in more detail.
-
Allow anyone to join without an invitation.
-
Allow people to join based on the domain of their email address.
-
Send email invitations to up to 100 addresses at a time.
-
Share a reusable invitation link.
The last two, invite-based, techniques also allow you to control the role (admin, member, or guest) that the invited people will have.
You can also manage access by controlling how users authenticate to Zulip. For example, you could allow anyone to join without an invitation, but require them to authenticate via LDAP.
