Adding Users

Add members one by one, from a list of emails or from a CSV file, and choose their role, spaces and languages.

Updated on 7 October 2026

There are three ways to create user accounts in Elium:

  • In the settings: you add the members yourself, one by one, from a list of email addresses or from a CSV file.

  • Just-in-time creation: Elium creates the account the first time a person signs in with your single sign-on (SSO), if they match the rules set for your SSO.

  • Automatic synchronization (SCIM): your identity provider creates the accounts, updates the profile details and disables the account when a person leaves your organisation.

Each member uses one seat of your plan. When all the seats are used, the "Add members" button is disabled.

Open the Add Members window

  1. Click your profile picture in the top right corner, then click "Settings".

  2. In the menu on the left, open "General" and click "Members".

  3. Click "Add members".

Add one member

  1. In the "One by one" tab, enter the "Email", the "First Name" and the "Last Name". The email is also the login. To use a different login, click "Use another login".

  2. Keep "Send an invitation email to the new user(s)" ticked to send the invitation now. You can add a personal text in "Message".

  3. Under "Permissions", choose the "System Role" and the "Space memberships". The member also joins the default spaces of the platform.

  4. Under "Language", choose the "Interface Language" and the "Content Language", or keep "Automatic".

  5. Under "Profile Fields", complete the profile of the member if necessary.

  6. Click "Add Members".

By adding a member, you confirm that you have their explicit consent to process their personal data.

Add several members

In the "With a list of emails" tab, paste the email addresses, one per line. Then choose the invitation, the permissions and the languages, as for one member. All the members of the list get the same settings.

Import members from a CSV file

  1. In the "With a CSV file" tab, click "Upload CSV" and choose your file. Only the email column is required.

  2. Under "Fields mapping", choose the profile field that each column of your file fills. Use the first row of your file for the column names: Elium shows them next to each list.

  3. Choose the invitation, the permissions and the languages, then click "Add Members".

Invite members later

If you did not send the invitation, the member keeps the "Pending" status until they sign in. To invite all of them at once, click "Actions" on the Members page, then "Send invitations to all non-registered users".
