# User Invitations

Manage user invitations in Cortex XSOAR 6.14.

Before inviting users to your Cortex XSOAR environment, you need to add an email integration instance, such as EWS, Gmail, EWS, Mail Sender, and so on.

After adding an email integration instance, you can send emails to a user's email address. You must add their role and choose whether to invite them to a specific incident.

After you [Invite a User](#UUID-d32b8958-0141-e415-dc96-3324c24534b6), an invitation is valid for one week from the time it was sent. If it is not accepted, the invitation expires, unless the invite expiration is reset. Once users accept the invite, they have access and permission within Cortex XSOAR, according to the roles you assign them.

If you need to connect to an external host name, add the **External Host Name** in the **Server Configuration** section in the **Troubleshooting** page, otherwise the URL invite may not be valid.

In the **Invites** tab, you can see details of all the sent invitations including the invite URL and whether they have been accepted.

You can also take the following actions:

| Action               | Description                                                                                                                                         |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Delete the invite    | If the user has not accepted the invitation you can delete the invite and the user cannot use this invitation to join the Cortex XSOAR environment. |
| Resend the invite    | The user receives another invitation. The expiration date extends for another week.                                                                 |
| Reset the expiration | The expiration for the selected invitation is extended for one more week.                                                                           |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/onboard-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/user-management/user-invitations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
