# Invite a listing owner

> Send a personalized invitation link so an owner can register and manage their own profile.

Invitations let you bring listing owners into your catalog in a controlled way. Instead of leaving registration fully open, you send a personal link to a specific email address. The recipient clicks it, sets a password, and their profile is ready.

## When to use invitations vs. open registration

| Situation                                         | Recommended approach                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| You know who should be in the catalog             | **Invitations** — controlled, professional                                                       |
| Anyone can register themselves                    | **Open registration** (toggle in Settings)                                                       |
| You pre-created a listing and want to hand it off | **Send credentials** when creating the listing (see [Add a listing](/admin/content/add-listing)) |

## Sending an invitation

Go to **Dashboard → Invitations** and click **Send invitation**.

Enter the recipient's email address and click **Send**. Supadir will:

1. Generate a unique invitation token (valid for **14 days**)
2. Send an email to that address with a registration link

The invitation table shows each invitation's status:

| Status       | Meaning                             |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| **Pending**  | Sent, not yet used                  |
| **Accepted** | The person registered successfully  |
| **Expired**  | 14 days passed without registration |

## Resending and revoking

* **Resend** — generates a fresh token (new 14-day window) and sends the email again. Useful if the original went to spam.
* **Revoke** — cancels the invitation. The link in the original email will no longer work.

<Tip>
  If an invitee says they didn't get the email, ask them to check their spam folder first. If it's not there, click Resend to issue a new link.
</Tip>

## What the invitee sees

When the recipient clicks the link, they land on your catalog's registration page with:

* Their **email pre-filled** and locked (they can't change it)
* Fields for: name, password, and entity type (if you have multiple types)

After registering, they're redirected to their listing owner panel where they can complete their profile.

## Registration closed but invitations still work

If you've turned off public registration in **Settings → General**, the registration page shows a "closed" notice to the general public — but invitation links still work normally.

This lets you curate your catalog while still onboarding people you personally approve.

<Info>
  Each invitation is tied to one email address. If someone wants to register with a different email, you'll need to send a new invitation to that address.
