## Bulk Invitations

Invite multiple team members at once:

```
# Enter multiple emails:
alice@company.com
bob@company.com
charlie@company.com
```

Or comma-separated:

```
alice@company.com, bob@company.com, charlie@company.com
```

All invited users receive the same role and repository access.

## Best Practices

**Assign appropriate roles**: Use principle of least privilege

**Set repository access**: Limit access to relevant repositories

**Use USER role for stakeholders**: Non-technical stakeholders typically need read-only access

**Invite via work emails**: Use company email addresses, not personal

**Review pending invitations**: Cancel expired or incorrect invitations

**Welcome new members**: Brief them on security practices and tools
