# Adding Users to Cronofy

Follow our simple guide on adding team members to your Cronofy account so you can schedule interviews for them.

## Adding users to Cronofy

Before you can **share** your availability with your colleagues or scheduler an event on their **behalf**, you need to add them to your Cronofy Organisational Unit (OU).

Her you will learn how to add users to your Cronofy environment. Whether **manually**, through an **automatic** sync of a subset of users, or a **full** sync. 

**Manual Invites**

Invite users manually to your organization unit by email, which the user will have to accept.
**Domain Signup and Directory Sync**

Have the users manually sign up by using your domain or connect a service account to have user automatically onboarded.
**Add Meeting Rooms**

You can add Meeting room to use in your scheduling request.

## Invite users manually

This is the standard way to invite users to your OU (Organisational Unit). To invite users manually head to:

**OU settings -> Members** -> **Users **

Scroll all the way down and select **Invite** **Users. **This will open the the invite tab (see screenshot) Now you can enter the emails (up to 20 at a time) of the users you want to invite to your OU.

Bellow that you will find the roles selector which determines the role if the users you invite. You can read more about roles in [this article.](https://www.cronofy.com/guides/user-onboarding/manage-organization-user?preview=true&dataset=production#da72d871a065e8f8fd2b8e7dcfd72421)

The users will then receive an email prompting them to accept your invite, which is valid for 48hrs.

## What the invited users receive:

![none]()

from this email the users can click the link and setup their Cronofy accounts by selection **setup** **scheduler** or simply join your OU if they have an account already by **signing** **in**. 

## Automated user provisioning

## Domain Sign Up

You can **skip** sending invites to your team and allow any coworkers who share your email **domain** to join your OU by enabling **Domain Sign Up**.

To enable Domain sign up, you need to click on your OU on the left hand panel. Then you select **scheduling>settings.**

Simply click on the tickbox and the option is enabled.

Only **Owners** can do this.

## Directory Sync via Enterprise Connect

Our **Enterprise Connect **function allows you to connect a service account via MS365 or Google Workspace, quick and easy **without** extra cost. From there you have the option of **full** or **partial** directory syncs.

The service account will **auto-generate** Cronofy accounts for your users without them having to accept email invitations or sign-up **themselves**.

More information can be found [**here**](https://www.cronofy.com/guide/enterprise-connect-setup).

## Add Meeting Rooms

We can add **meeting rooms **to your organisation and be able to share availability with them or add them in a [selection rule](https://www.cronofy.com/guides/user-onboarding/creating-groups#d3bcc54c5ad4), so that you can the system auto-assign them. Meeting rooms will reside in the **resources** tab next to users. 

**OU Settings -> Members -> Resources**

You need to create these rooms as resources in your Google or Microsoft environment as they need to have their own email.

Simply message us in [**Support**](mailto:support@cronofy.com) with a room list and their **emails** and we will add these for you.

## FAQ

**Q: Do I pay for everyone with a service account?**

A: No, when you onboard all users' calendars via a service account you will not pay for every account. You will only pay for anyone who has been part of a scheduler request.

**Q: What is the appropriate role for a regular interviewer?**

A: 'Member' so they can only see their own settings. After accepting the invite, your interviewers won't need to do anything else in Cronofy.

**Q: What can I share with my IT around Data & Privacy of onboarding users?**

A: Please have them review:

[Our Privacy Notice.](https://docs.cronofy.com/policies/privacy-notice/)

[Data Management policies.](https://docs.cronofy.com/policies/data-management/)

[Compliance documents.](https://docs.cronofy.com/policies/compliance/)

**Q: Do interviewers need to take any action if we set up a service account?**

A: No, everything will be synced to Cronofy on the backend and they will not have to interface with Cronofy. Only your recruiters and coordinators will work with Cronofy.

**Q: Do rooms get also added automatically when directory sync is active?**

A: At the moment, we only include room in directory sync for Microsoft Azure, not Google Workspace, but you can send us a list of the rooms(email) that you would like and we will onboard them
