If your organization is on a paid per-user subscription, an unused license must be available before you can invite a new member to join the organization or reinstate a former organization member. For more information, see About per-user pricing. Pending invitations will expire after 7 days, restoring any unclaimed licenses.
If your organization requires members to use two-factor authentication, users you invite must enable two-factor authentication before they can accept the invitation.
