To add users to your workspace in Flint, you can either whitelist your school's email domain or add emails individually. Once they've been invited, you can assign their roles (admin, teacher, or student).
Note: This guide is best for inviting a subset of your school to Flint. To invite your whole school, we suggest importing through an LMS or SIS integration. This will automatically invite everyone, assign their roles, and make groups based on course rosters.
Whitelisting an email domain in Flint
When whitelisting is enabled for a workspace, any user with that email domain can sign up and use Flint. They can sign up using Google SSO, Microsoft SSO, or make their own password, and all they need is the link.
However, when people sign up with their whitelisted emails, Flint won't know what role they should have. Their role will appear as "unassigned" and Flint will default to treating them like students. To invite people as teachers, it's best to add their emails and roles individually.
Click on "Settings and members" and then "Manage members"
"Settings and members" can be found in the sidebar of your homepage.
Type domain(s) into the "Members" bar
Type your domain with @ symbol. Once the domain is typed in, the option to assign a role to "anyone at" the domain should pop up. This allows you to choose what role anyone signing in with that domain will get assigned.
You can repeat this with any other domains you'd like to add. This means if your school has different domains for teachers and students, you can set them to auto-assign roles.
Adding individual emails to Flint
In the same share modal for whitelisting email domains, you can invite individuals through the "Members" panel. You can type or paste in a comma-separated list of the email address(es) you wish to invite.
Each email or list of emails can be assigned a role. We suggest pasting in all the emails for students, teachers, and admin separately to be able to assign their roles in groups.
Update and notify invitees
When you've added the domains and/or individual emails, make sure to click "Update" to officially invite everyone.
You'll also be given the option to send everyone email notifications that they have been invited to the workspace. The email will include a link that will bring them to their new Flint workspace homepage!
