Inviting new users is a key part of your role as a platform admin. Whether you’re adding a new student ambassador or a fellow staff member, the process is quick and handled directly from your dashboard.
How to Send an Invitation
- Log in to your Admin Dashboard.
- Click the "Invite User" button in the top-right corner.
- Enter the user’s First Name, Last Name, and Email.
- Select the appropriate Profile Type (see below for details).
- Click "Send Invite".
The invited user will receive an automated email with a link to sign up and create their account.
👥 Understanding User Types
The platform supports three distinct roles, each with different permissions:
- Ambassadors: These users represent your institution. They can create a public profile and respond to inquiries from prospects.
- Admins: Admins have full access to the Admin Dashboard with the same functionalities as you. They can also create an admin profile to be visible in the ambassador list if desired.
- Prospects: Typically, prospects sign up via your website, but you can invite them directly if you have a specific contact you want to bring onto the platform. This is also the primary way to add users if your Tribe platform is set to "Invite Only" mode.
👩🏽🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Email Conflicts: Each email address is linked to one unique user identity. If an ambassador previously signed up as a prospect, they may hit a conflict. Please have them contact support@tribeadmissions.com to have their prospect account cleared so they can use that email for their ambassador profile.
- Staff Profiles: If you want to be both an Admin and a Staff Ambassador, you will need to use two different email addresses.
- Missing Emails: If an invite doesn't arrive within a few minutes, ask the user to check their Spam or Promotions folder.
