# Invite a User

You can invite one user at a time and add their roles as required. The invitation is sent by email to the user’s email address or you can copy the URL invite and send it direct. An invite is valid for one week.

Ensure that you configure an Email integration, such as Gmail, EWS, Mail Sender, and so on.

You may need to add an external host name if your Cortex XSOAR needs to connect to an external host name.

1. Select Settings → Users and Roles → **Invites**.
2. Click **Invite User**.
3. Type the email address of the user you want to add.
4. From the dropdown list, select at least one role to assign to the user.
5. (Optional) Select an incident to assign the user.
6. Click **Invite**

   Details of the invitation appear in the **Invites** tab.

   The user is sent an email with details on how to join. Once accepted the user’s details appear in the **Users** tab.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.12/onboard-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/user-management/user-invitations/invite-a-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
