How do I invite additional users to my group?

Do you want to invite colleagues to your group in CZ GEN EPI? After you have onboarded, you have the option to invite additional users to join your group. Invited members will have full access to group samples and phylogenetic trees and will be able to build trees and manage data (upload, download, edit, and delete data). Only group owners have the ability to add users to their group.

To invite additional members to your CZ GEN EPI group:

1. Navigate to the page where you can select the colleagues you wish to invite. There are two places where you can do this:
   
   Option 1: From your CZ GEN EPI account, click on the group menu in the upper left part of the menu bar and click on Invite Members.
   
   Example Sample page showing the ‘Invite Members’ button.
   
   Option 2: Go to the Members page (accessed through Group Details > Members) and click on  ‘Invite’  on the top right of the table.
   
   Go to the Members page by clicking on ‘Group Details’.
