Invite members to your Elastic Cloud organization

Invite members to your Elastic Cloud organization

edit

By inviting users to join your organization, you can allow them to interact with all or specific instances and settings. To do that, some predefined roles are available for you to assign to your organization’s members.

To invite a new member, go to your avatar in the upper right corner, choose Organization and click Invite members. You can add multiple members by entering their email addresses separated by a space. You can also assign roles to the users when you invite them, so that they automatically get the appropriate permissions when they accept the invitation and sign in to Elastic Cloud.

Users can only belong to one organization at a time. If a user that you want to invite already belongs to a different organization, that user first needs to leave their current organization, or to use a different email address. Check Join an organization from an existing Elastic Cloud account.

Alternatively, configure Elastic Cloud SAML SSO to enable your organization members to join the Elastic Cloud organization automatically. [preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

On the Members tab of the Organization page, you can view the list of current members, their status, and their roles.

Accept an invitation

edit

Invitations to join an organization are sent by email. Invited users have 72 hours to accept the invitation. If they do not join within that period, you will have to send a new invitation.

Join an organization from an existing Elastic Cloud account

edit

You already belong to an organization. If you want to join a new one and bring your deployments over, follow these steps:

  1. Backup your deployments to any private repository so that you can restore them to your new organization.
  2. Leave your current organization.
  3. Ask the administrator to invite you to the organization you want to join.
  4. Accept the invitation that you will get by email.
  5. Restore the backup you took in step 1.

If you want to join a new one, but leave your deployments, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you do not have active deployments before you leave your current organization.
  2. Delete your deployments and clear any bills.
  3. Leave your current organization.
  4. Ask the administrator to invite you to the organization you want to join.
  5. Accept the invitation that you will get by email.

Leave an organization

edit

On the Members tab of the Organization page, click the three dots corresponding to your email address and select Leave organization.

If you’re the only user in the organization, you can only leave if you deleted all your deployments and projects, and you don’t have pending bills.
