Join an organization

Outcome You accept an organisation-level invitation and receive the Faculty or Manager role required to create your own research projects.

Before you start

• A Manager in your target organisation (typically a PI or lab admin) has sent you an invitation.

• You know which identity provider you want to use to sign in (institutional SSO, Google, or Nuvolos).

Researchers are invited in one of two ways: to a specific research space (if you are joining as a collaborator - see the next page) or to an entire organisation (if you will create and manage your own projects). This page covers the organisation-level case.

Roles to look for in the invitation

To create and manage your own research projects, you need one of these roles:

• Faculty - the standard role for researchers. Lets you create new spaces, manage project data, and control access for collaborators.

• Manager - has all Faculty permissions and can additionally manage organisation-wide settings and invite other Faculty members.

If your invitation grants only the Member role, you can't create new spaces. Contact the inviter and ask for a Faculty role instead. For the full role definitions, see Concepts › Roles, secrets and identity.

Accept the invitation

The procedure for accepting any Nuvolos invitation is the same regardless of the role. See the canonical procedure: How-to › Common Workflows › Accepting an invitation.
