# capy invite: Add a Teammate to Your Organization

> Invite a teammate with capy invite <email>. Pick a role, get a one-time redeem code, and share it out-of-band — the service never sees the invite token.

## Synopsis

```bash theme={null}
capy invite <email>
```

## Description

Generates a one-time redeem code that grants `<email>` access to the current organization. Capy prompts you for a role (Member, Project Admin, or Admin) and offers to copy the code to your clipboard.

The recipient runs `capy redeem <code>` to complete the flow.

## The redeem code

The code is a base64 string containing the invite token `T`, the organization ID, and an outer-wrapped copy of the master key. **Deliver it out-of-band** (Signal, a password manager share, a QR code, a phone call) - anyone who intercepts it plus the separately-held service wrap could recover the master key.

Email and Slack DMs are **not** acceptable channels. See [Inviting users](/using/team/inviting) for why.

## Example

```bash theme={null}
$ capy invite alice@example.com
? What role should alice@example.com have? Member
✔ Invite created.

Redeem code (copied to clipboard):
  CAPY-INV-k3n4...ZxYw

Share this code with alice@example.com over a channel you trust.
The code is one-time — it can only be used once.
```
