Email or link
An email invitation arrives from the sign-in provider with your school’s name in the invitation. It can land in a promotions folder, so tell the person to expect it. A link shows in an Invitation link dialog with Copy link; send it however you like. Both expire after seven days and only work for the invited address.

Inviting someone who already has an account
If the address already has an active account, the invitation is not sent. Instead their access is updated: new programs are added to an existing teacher, new children to an existing parent, and People says {name} already has an account. Their access was updated instead. Other changes, such as a different role, are made with Edit access.
