# Add someone to a suite's directory

`POST https://studio.gtable.app/v1/users`

Creates a directory entry.

This alone gives access to nothing: put them in an app with `members.add` afterwards. Being in the directory and having access to an app are separate on purpose, an assistant onboarding a colleague should not have to decide what they may see in the CRM.

Requires the `members:write` scope. Operation `users.invite`. MCP tool `users_invite`. CLI, once published: `gtable users invite`.
