# Inviting administrators to register

You can invite administrators to register with PingOne using their name and email address. These users receive an email containing a verification code, as well as a link to complete the registration process.

You can also set an expiration time on the invitation. The maximum time allowed is 24 hours.

## Before you begin

To invite other administrators to access PingOne, you must use PingOne as your identity provider, have [administrator security](../settings/p1_administrator_security.html) enabled with PingOne or a hybrid authentication source, and have the appropriate permissions.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin console for the Administrators environment, go to **Directory > Users** and select **Invite Admin** from the **Users** list.

2. Enter the user's email address and first and last name in the appropriate fields.

3. Specify when you want the invitation to expire in the **Invitation Expires** field and click **Next**.

4. On the **Available responsibilities** tab, select the administrator roles you want the new administrator to have for each environment, such as **Environment Admin**, **Identity Data Admin**, or **Organization Admin**.

   |   | You cannot assign privileges greater than those you are assigned. Best practice is to assign only the roles necessary for new administrators to do their jobs. Learn more in [Administrator Roles](../directory/p1_roles.html) and [Managing user roles](../directory/p1_manage_user_roles.html). |

5. Click **Send Invitation**.

   Invitations display on the **Users** page. The toggle indicates whether the invitation is still active. Click the user to view details about the invitation.

6. (Optional) If you want to revoke the invitation or resend it with a new authentication code, click **Revoke** or **Resend**.

   |   | The administrator's email address is not yet verified, but will be when the administrator accepts the invitation. |

The new administrator accepts the invitation and signs on to the admin console.
