Members lists everyone in your organisation, with their email address and role. Your own row is marked You. If you are an admin, Pending Invitations appears below it.

If something goes wrong

  • "Invited 1 of 2. Could not invite ..." Alcova sent the other invitations, but not to the addresses it names. Email Addresses now holds only those addresses. Check each one for typing errors, and check Pending Invitations in case the person already has an invitation. Correct the addresses and select Invite again. The people who were already invited do not get a second invitation.

  • "The invitations were sent, but this list did not refresh." Reload the page to see the new invitations.

  • "Could not resend the invitation to ..." Alcova cancelled the old invitation but could not send the new one. Invite the person again.
