Teams

SERVER

The Teams service allows you to group users of your project and share read and write access to resources like database documents or storage files.

Each user who creates a team becomes the team owner and can delegate the ownership role by inviting a new team member. Only team owners can invite new users to their team.

Base URL
https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1

Create team membership

Invite a new member to join your team. Provide an ID for existing users, or invite unregistered users using an email or phone number. If initiated from a Client SDK, Appwrite will send an email or sms with a link to join the team to the invited user, and an account will be created for them if one doesn't exist. If initiated from a Server SDK, the new member will be added automatically to the team.

You only need to provide one of a user ID, email, or phone number. Appwrite will prioritize accepting the user ID > email > phone number if you provide more than one of these parameters.

Use the url parameter to redirect the user from the invitation email to your app. After the user is redirected, use the Update Team Membership Status endpoint to allow the user to accept the invitation to the team.

Please note that to avoid a Redirect Attack Appwrite will accept the only redirect URLs under the domains you have added as a platform on the Appwrite Console.

  • Request
    • teamId string
      required

      Team ID.

    • roles array

      ID of the user to be added to a team.

    • phone string

      Phone number. Format this number with a leading '+' and a country code, e.g., +16175551212.

    • url string

      URL to redirect the user back to your app from the invitation email. This parameter is not required when an API key is supplied. Only URLs from hostnames in your project platform list are allowed. This requirement helps to prevent an open redirect attack against your project API.

    • name string

      Name of the new team member. Max length: 128 chars.

  • Response
  • Rate limits

    This endpoint is not limited when using Server SDKs with API keys. If you are using SSR with setSession, these rate limits will still apply. Learn more about SSR rate limits.

    The limit is applied for each unique limit key.
