# Invite a new user

New users are invited via email and have the option to sign up using Microsoft accounts or by creating a local account with their email and password. 

Single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID is currently supported in Connect, streamlining the authentication process for users.

When inviting a user, it is also possible to specify which groups they should belong to. This information can be modified after the user invitation has been sent.

Create a new invite by selecting the **Invite user** button at the top of the user list.

When a user is invited, the user's status will be set to **Pending** until they have signed up for Flow Connect, at which point their status will change to **Active**.

Invited users will receive an email containing a link to register for Flow Connect. Users cannot access their accounts until they have successfully signed up using the invitation URL.
