# Invitations
An invitation is required to invite any user to your team. An invitation can be in one of the following statuses:
* **Open**: the user is able to reply to the invitation
* **Expired**: the invitation is no longer open as the user took too long to reply
* **Accepted**: the user has accepted the invitation and became a member
* **Declined**: the user has rejected the invitation
* **Withdrawn**: the team has canceled their invitation
Upon acceptance, a user will automatically receive the assigned role from the invitation for their membership.
