Anyone can invite people to Mattermost teams and channels, unless your system admin has [disabled](/administration-guide/onboard/advanced-permissions) your ability to do so.
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="web-desktop" label="Web/Desktop">
1. Select the team name at the top of the channel sidebar, and then select **Invite People**.
> ![Select the team name in the sidebar and select Invite People.](/images/invite-people.png)
2. Choose how to invite people:
> - **Copy invite link**: Share an invitation link with others using apps on your mobile device.
> - **Invite as member**: Send an invitation by email to people who don't have an account on your Mattermost workspace by specifying their email address and selecting **Invite**.
> - **Add existing users**: Add existing workspace users as members of the current team by specifying their username and selecting **Invite**.
> - **Invite as guest**: Invite a guest temporarily with limited workspace access. Specify their email address, select the channels they can access, and optionally add a custom message. See the [guest accounts](/administration-guide/onboard/guest-accounts) documentation to learn more about guest accounts.
> - **Use magic link**: Invite guests to log in without a password using a magic link when [enabled by your system admin](/administration-guide/onboard/guest-accounts#configure-magic-links-for-guests). See the [magic link login for guests](/end-user-guide/access/access-your-workspace#magic-link-login-for-guests) documentation for login details.

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="mobile" label="Mobile">
1. Tap the <img src={useBaseUrl('/img/ui/plus_F0415.svg')} alt="The Plus icon provides access to channel and direct message functionality." className="theme-icon" /> icon in the top right corner of the screen and tap **Invite people to the team**.
> ![When you select +, you can access more options from the popup window.](/images/mobile-invite-people-to-the-team.png)
2. Choose how to invite people:
> - **Share link**: Share an invitation link with others using apps on your mobile device.
> - **Invite as member**: Send an invitation by email to people who don't have an account on your Mattermost workspace by specifying their email address and tap **Send**.
> - **Add existing users**: Add existing workspace users as members of the current team by specifying their username and tap **Send**.
> - **Invite as guest**: Invite a guest temporarily with limited workspace access. See the [guest accounts](/administration-guide/onboard/guest-accounts) documentation to learn more about guest accounts. Specify their email address, select the channels they can access, and optionally add a custom message. Tap **Send** when ready.
> - **Use magic link**: Invite guests to log in without a password using a magic link when [enabled by your system admin](/administration-guide/onboard/guest-accounts#configure-magic-links-for-guests). See the [magic link login for guests](/end-user-guide/access/access-your-workspace#magic-link-login-for-guests) documentation for login details.

<Note>
- Can't share invitation links? Contact your Mattermost system admin for assistance. An [SSL certificate (or a self-signed certificate)](/administration-guide/onboard/ssl-client-certificate) may be required for link-based invitations to work.
- When inviting guests, you must select at least one channel they can access. Guests are limited to the channels you specify and cannot discover other channels.
- An invite link can be used by anyone and doesn’t change unless it’s re-generated or revoked by a system admin or team admin via **Team Settings \> Access \> Invite Code**.
- Your system admin must [enable email invitations](/administration-guide/configure/authentication-configuration-settings#enable-email-invitations) and configure [email](/administration-guide/configure/environment-configuration-settings#smtp) for Mattermost to send email-based invitations.
- Invitation links sent by email expire after 48 hours and can only be used once.
- When profile fields are managed by your system admin, email invitations may include fields to preset the invitee's name and username. These values are applied during signup and become admin-managed.
- Your system admin can [cancel all email invitations](/administration-guide/configure/authentication-configuration-settings#invalidate-pending-email-invites) that haven't yet been accepted within the System Console.
