Adding users to HqO

Introduction

HqO’s invitation flow simplifies the process of inviting new users to the platform by providing a guided interface for tenant and landlord administrators. Designed to replace the cumbersome CSV upload tool, this new feature offers role-specific invite paths, role and building assignment during the invite process, and bulk upload functionality. All actions are performed on the building-agnostic users page, enabling streamlined management at the portfolio level.

Who Can Use This Feature?

• To perform landlord or tenant actions in the invite flow, users must have the User Manager role.
