Invite a user to become a member

In your role as administrator, you can expand your organization by inviting Puppet Forge users to become members. You can invite as many members as you like.

To protect your organization and its Puppet estate, invite only people whom you know and trust. Remember:

  • If the organization is entitled to premium modules, all members gain access to those modules.

  • Members can view information about other members.

  • Members can view reports to track the history of downloaded modules and see whether the Puppet estate is current.

  • Members with administrator permissions can add and remove members and change member roles.

Before you begin

  • You must be an administrator of the organization.

  • The person whom you invite must be a registered Puppet Forge user.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Puppet Forge by selecting Log in at the upper right and following the prompts.

  2. At the upper right, next to your username or profile, select the down arrow and the organization to update.

  3. Select Members and Invite member.

  4. In the Invite a user dialog, enter the email address with which the user is registered on Puppet Forge or the username.

    By default, the user is invited to join as a member.

  6. Select Send invitation.
