# Manage users in Organizations

In the **Organization** where you want to manage users, select the **Members** menu option.

{% hint style="info" %}
You must have the permissions required to perform these tasks. For details, see [Pre-defined user roles](/platform-administration/user-management/pre-defined-roles.md) for a list of permissions.
{% endhint %}

## Add users

To add new users to your Organization, click **Add members**:

You can do the following on the **Add members** screen:

* Select **Invite new members** to send an email invitation to a new user. Enter the email addresses of users to invite, separated by commas, and click **Send invite**.
* Select **Add existing members** to add existing members of your Group to the Organization. Select the users when prompted and click **Invite members.**
* For Free plan users only:\
  Select **Invite by link** to send a link; click **Copy link** and send the link yourself. Note that an invite link expires after 48 hours.
* Use the **New members join as** dropdown to define the default role of a user when joining, such as **Org admin**. For details, see [Manage permissions](/platform-administration/user-management/pre-defined-roles.md).

2. In the **Pending invites in \_your organization's name**\_ modal that appears, click the trash icon next to the name of the user to cancel the invite.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For Enterprise plan customers who create custom roles, Snyk prevents users from assigning roles to other users who have more privileges. If you try to update a role, invite a new user, or add an existing user with a role that has more privileges than you have, you will see the error **Cannot assign higher privilege role**.
{% endhint %}

1. Click the trash icon next to the user.
2. Click **Delete member from** \[**your Organization’s name]** when prompted.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations/manage-users-in-organizations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
