Inviting users requires that the role of the inviting user includes the Invite users global permission AND Manage members project permission.

Apart from creating users via Settings | Users (see Creating users for more details), you can invite users from Activity Center. As you save their user profile in a special form, Easy Projects will email them an invitation with an automatically generated login/password.

Inviting users beyond the limit in your license - 5-day temporary license

When you try to invite a user which is beyond the limit permitted by your license, a temporary license with a 5 day grace period will be automatically generated for the user.

All you need to do is to purchase an additional license for the extra user within the grace period.

Easy Projects will return the following dialog box:

To continue, fill out the user creation form and click 'Save and close' to add it. If required, use 'Show all user details'.

After you close the dialog box, an Easy Projects Customer Portal page will open in a new tab where you can complete the purchase of an additional license:

You can either complete the purchase now, or postpone it till later but within the grace period.

If you do not complete the purchase within the grace period, the 'Can login' option will be revoked for the users not covered by your license.
