Overview

Admins and owners can add new users to a Wrike account. Regular users can also add new users to the account, however this right can be removed from them in Enterprise accounts.

Admins on Professional and higher accounts can restrict invitations to users with a certain domain. Learn more on the page Restrict User Invites by Domain.

Adding a new user will give that person the potential to access your Wrike account. You can still choose which user license type to give them, which will restrict their rights in the account, and which things to share with them.

FAQ

What can a newly added user see?

When you invite someone to join Wrike, they don't automatically see everything in your account. You must share tasks, folders, or projects with them in order for them to see specific items.
