Inviting someone
1
Enter their email
Use their school email address. If they already have a ChimeEdu account under that address, the invitation attaches to it; if not, they create an account as part of accepting.
2
Choose Teacher or Staff
Teacher links their account to one of your campuses so they appear on your roster. Staff gives them a seat on this dashboard, with the role you pick — Admin, Leader, or IT.
3
Pick a campus (teachers only)
If your institution has more than one campus you must choose which one the teacher belongs to. With a single campus it’s filled in for you.
4
Send
The invitation email names your institution, the role, and (for teachers) the campus, and explains what accepting does to their account. Links are valid for 7 days.
Students are not invited here. Teachers invite students from inside a classroom, and students join your institution automatically through those enrollments.
Open invitations
Invitations that haven’t been used appear under Open invitations with their status:
Resending always rotates the link, so the newest email is the one that works. While an invitation is still pending you can’t send a second one to the same address — resend or revoke it instead.
Invitation history (collapsed at the bottom) shows invitations that were accepted or revoked, when, and by whom.
Changing a member’s role
Admins can change another member’s role from the dropdown on their row — for example promoting a Leader to Admin when responsibilities change. The new role applies on their next page load. Two guardrails:- You can’t change your own role. Ask another Institution Admin to do it.
- You can’t demote or remove the last Institution Admin. Add another admin first.
