You can receive an invitation by email from a colleague, who adds you to the organization, or from a buyer, who invites your company to submit a bid on a sourcing event. You accept both in the same way.

An admin or owner invites colleagues with Send invite under Add User in Access management. See "Add a user". A buyer invites suppliers from the sourcing event. See "Respond to an invitation".

How an admin or owner invites a colleague, and chooses the role the colleague gets

1. Open the link in the invitation email.

2. If you do not have an account, press Sign up. If you have an account, press log in.

3. Press Click here to accept the invitation.

4. You see the message Invitation accepted!

If a colleague invited you, the page has the heading Invitation to join and the name of the organization. If you are invited to submit a bid, the page shows the sourcing event, who the buyer is and the Bid delivery deadline. Check that it is correct before you press.

If a colleague invited you, you are in the organization with the role the administrator gave you. See "Roles explained". If you are invited to submit a bid, how you answer and submit is described in "Respond to an invitation".

If you get the error Did you click an expired or already accepted email invite?, the invitation is used or expired. Ask the person who invited you to send a new one.
