Adding users manually vs SCIM

Users can be added to Writer automatically via SCIM provisioning, or by inviting them manually. SCIM provisioning is managed by your IT team.

Note that accounts with SCIM provisioning enabled are still able to invite users manually on an ad hoc basis.

To set up SCIM provisioning for your Writer account, see our Help Center article here.

Inviting a user to Writer

Select the Admin settings from the left sidebar, then select People.

Select the Add people button in the top right corner.

Enter the email address of the person you'd like to add to your Writer org. You can add multiple email addresses at a time, separated by a comma – but all users will be given the same access role and team.

Next, add the user(s) to the appropriate team and select their access role.

Learn more about access roles here.

Next, add a user to a billing group if applicable. Learn more about billing groups here.

Finally, select Invite to send out the email invitation to your new org member(s).
