# INVITE USER
## Syntax
```sql
INVITE USER email_address [, ...]
[ WITH (invitation_parameter = value [, ...]) ];
```
## Description
This enables an organization user manager to invite users into an organization. The primary role name assigned to the user is reserved and kept inactive until the user accepts the invitation. If the user rejects the invitation the role is dropped. When you create the invitation you can assign additional roles, as well as a default role, to the user’s primary role.
Only a [role](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/access-control#_role) with [MANAGE\_MEMBERS](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/access-control#_privilege) privilege can invite users.
### Arguments
#### email\_address
The email address of the user(s) to invite into the current organization.
#### WITH invitation\_parameter = \[, ...]
Optionally, this clause specifies [#store\_parameters](#store_parameters "mention").
