Inviting people

Email only, by design.

2 minutes to read

Only people you invite can open your app. Invitations go by email, and only by email: it is one verified channel, it works everywhere, and there is no phone number to type wrong or lose.

From the dashboard

Open the app, choose Who can open it, and enter an email, or paste a list of up to 50 with commas, spaces or new lines between them. Each person gets their own email with a link that works for 72 hours. Opening it signs them in on that device.

From your AI

Invite alex@example.com and sam@example.com to the bookkeeping app.

Your AI does it with npx uarpie share alex@example.com sam@example.com, or with the share tool if it has Uarpie's tools installed: up to 50 people at once, each with their own email, as from the dashboard. The app has to be kept first.

Roles

  • Owner: the person who kept the app. Can invite and remove people, change settings, see billing.
  • Member: everyone invited. Can open and use the app.

Your app is told who each person is and which of the two they are, so it can show everyone their own things. See Knowing who is using your app.

Removing someone

From Who can open it, next to their name. Within about a minute their visits are refused at the edge, and your app is no longer told who they are; nothing in the app needs to change. An invitation they have not opened yet no longer lets them in. Anyone else who opened the app with a link made without a name, such as one your AI made with only the app's deploy key, is asked to open it again from their dashboard.

Your AI can do it too:

Take sam@example.com off the bookkeeping app.

It runs npx uarpie people remove sam@example.com, or uses the remove_people tool. npx uarpie people (the people tool) shows who can open the app, so it can check the address first.

How many people

Any app you keep can have people invited to it, on any plan. Each person signs in with their own email; nobody shares a password.
