How to invite, delete or update user roles in Pleo

  • By default, anyone invited through the standard steps will join as an employee. You can switch their role to admin after they accept the invite.
  • If the invitation fails, check for extra spaces in the email address. If it’s still not working, the email might already be associated with another Pleo account - try using an alias or explore a multi-entity Pleo setup.
