# How do I invite a staff member?

> Add a board member, convenor or treasurer to the dashboard from Settings → Staff and give them the right access.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Inviting needs the *users.create* permission (Curling Administrators have it). The invitation link is valid for **7 days**.
  * The **Role Template** in the invite dialog (Admin / Coach / Accountant / Volunteer) is a quick permission preset. For curling roles — administrator, league admin, communications, treasurer, volunteer coordinator — open the person afterwards and assign an **Access Level**.
  * If the email already has an account at another club, the person is simply added to yours; their password and profile are untouched and one login then covers both clubs.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Staff">
    Go to **Settings → Staff** and click **Add Staff Member**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the invitation">
    In **Add New Staff Member** enter **Full Name** and **Email Address**, pick a **Role Template** (it pre-fills the **Granular Permissions** checkboxes; the default is Volunteer, which grants nothing), adjust the checkboxes if you like, and click **Invite Staff Member**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give them an access level">
    The new row shows status **Invited**. Open its **Actions** menu → **Edit Staff Member**, and on the **Profile & Permissions** tab tick the right **Access Levels** (for example **Curling Administrator** or **Treasurer**) and click **Save access levels**. For a league convenor see [How do I make someone a League Manager?](/club/get-set-up/how-do-i-make-someone-a-league-manager).
  </Step>

  <Step title="They accept">
    A new person receives "You've been invited to join \{club}" and sets a password on **Set Up Your Account**. Someone who already has an account receives "\{inviter} invited you to join \{club}" and just clicks **Join**. The row turns **Active** when they accept.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Inviting an email that is already staff at your club fails with **User is already a member of this organization**. The row menu also offers **Edit Permissions** (per-person extra permissions on top of access levels) and **Send Password Reset**.
