Other ways to invite users
Invitation links
Anyone can use Invite links to get access to your site and start using a specific product. This is useful if you:
Want to get your team on-boarded quickly.
Work with contractors or clients who need fast access.
Once you have shared an invite link, anyone can use it to create a new account. For this reason, you should only share invite links with people you trust. As an added security measure, invite links automatically expire after 30 days. You can also turn off invite links at any time, rendering any old links invalid.
Steps
To send an invite link to someone:
Go to your site's Admin at admin.atlassian.com. If you're an admin for multiple sites or an organization admin, click the site's name and URL to open the Admin for that site.
Select Products > User access settings > Invitation links.
Select the checkbox for the product you want to create an invite link for. The invite link will appear below the checkbox. Users with the invite link will land in the product.
Copy the invite link and share it with users you want to give site access to.
New accounts created via invite links are granted default product access.
Approved domains
As an organization admin, you can verify your company’s domain to prove that you own all user accounts with that domain. Your company’s domain is everything that comes after the @ symbol in the email addresses of your users’ accounts. Learn more about domains.
You can approve domains to allow users to access your site quickly. New users who join with an approved domain are granted default product access.
You might want to use this to:
Approve your company domain so onboarding is easier for your employees.
Approve client domains so they can always get access.
Before you begin
Users on approved domains:
Must create an Atlassian account before logging in to your site.
Can access your site from an available Join site button.
Can access your site with or without an invitation.
Steps
To manage approved domains:
Go to your site's Admin at admin.atlassian.com. If you're an admin for multiple sites or an organization admin, click the site's name and URL to open the Admin for that site.
Select Products > User access settings > Approved domains.
Click Add domain, add your domain name and select the product role and how org admins get notified of new users.
Access requests
Users can request access to products on your site for themselves or for other users. When they do this, the site admin will receive a notification to visit the Access requests page to deny or approve the request.

If you are a Jira Product Discovery project administrator
Project roles are a flexible way to associate users and groups with particular projects. These are the existing project roles.
Administrator can do most things, like update settings and add other admins to the project. They can manage features, customize issue types, and add rules on the board. Admins need product access to Jira Software to get the full benefit of this role.
Members are a part of the team. They can create issues, edit them, comment on them, move them into different statuses, and generally collaborate on your project's work. Members need product access to Jira Software to get the full benefit of this role.
Viewer can search through and view issues in your project, but not much else. You can give any registered user on your Jira site this role without extra product access.
Product roles are different from project roles. When you work with roles, you can see that some of the actions have the product role name next to them. This is to indicate whether a licensed or unlicensed user will have access to it. Jira Product Discovery supports two types of product roles assigned by a site administrator in the Directory:
Creators: Users with product access to Jira Product Discovery (licensed users). They can use all features based on the access they're given in each project.
Contributors: Users without Jira Product Discovery product access are called contributors (unlicensed users). They can only use a subset of features, for example, open ideas and views in read-only mode with the ability to vote and comment.
Before you begin
You need to be a Jira Product Discovery admin to make the changes.
Beware that when you give someone a role, they inherit the role given by your project access:
In Open projects, everyone on your Jira site is given the default Member role.
In Limited projects, everyone on your Jira site is given the default Viewer role.
In Private projects, only Jira admins and people you add to the project have a role.
