# Add Portal Users

Give your teammates access to the Partner Portal: automatically through single sign-on, by letting them join on their own, or by adding them yourself.

---

## Overview

Your teammates can get into the Partner Portal three ways: automatically through single sign-on (SSO), by asking to join your partner organization, or by being added by you. Which one applies depends on whether your company's email domain is already connected to Fours.

You'll need an Admin or Editor role to make changes here. If the fields appear locked or read-only, check your role with your Fours admin. See [Manage Users and Roles](/get-started/account/).

## Sign in with single sign-on (SSO)

If your teammate's email matches your company's domain, they can sign in to the Partner Portal directly using your company's single sign-on (SSO). Fours recognizes the domain automatically, so no invite is required.

## Let teammates join on their own

A teammate who signs up to Fours with an address on your company's email domain, and isn't in any organization yet, is taken to **Join an Organization**. It lists the Fours organizations on their email domain, including yours.

1. Next to your organization, the teammate clicks **Join**.
2. They choose a **Requested Role** — **Viewer**, **Editor**, or **Admin** — and write a short **Message**, between 10 and 1,000 characters.
3. They click **Submit Request**.

Because yours is a partner organization, nobody normally has to approve the request. Fours adds the teammate straight away, tells them *"You have joined the organization."*, and **Go to Home** takes them in. Fours also emails them that the request was approved.

If Fours can't add them automatically, the request stays **Pending** instead and waits like any other join request: the teammate is told their request was submitted, and your organization's Admins are emailed to approve it under **Users & Roles**.

- **A request for Admin is approved automatically as Editor.** Nobody reviews an automatic approval, so an address on your domain can't be used to give someone user management. A request that stays **Pending** is reviewed by an Admin, who chooses the role to grant.
- **Nobody on your side is notified when a request is approved automatically.** Check **Users & Roles** to see who has joined.
- **Only partner organizations work this way.** A request to join a seller organization, including one that is also someone's partner, waits for an admin there to approve it — see [Review Join Requests](/get-started/account/#review-join-requests).

## Add a teammate yourself

5. Click **Save**.

:::info
Saving adds your teammate to your organization straight away, with the role you picked, and Fours emails them an invitation with a link to sign up. The link opens the sign-up form with their email address already filled in.

If they had already asked to join your organization, Fours settles that request at the same time and tells you: *"This user already had a pending join request for this organization — it has been resolved automatically."*
