Invite members to join a consortium

When you invite a member, Alibaba Cloud sends an invitation email to the user. The invited user logs on to their Alibaba Cloud account and accepts the invitation. After acceptance, consortium members must apply for access permission before they can connect to the blockchains within the consortium.

  1. On the My Consortia page, select a consortium, and click Manage in the Actions column to go to the Blockchain Management page.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Member Management.

  3. Click Invite Member. In the dialog box, enter the user ID of the member to invite, and then click OK.

    Alibaba Cloud sends an invitation email to the specified user.

  4. Ask the invited user to complete the following steps to accept the invitation:

    1. Open the invitation email from Alibaba Cloud and click the invitation link.

    2. Log on to their Alibaba Cloud account.

    3. Click Accept Invitation.

What's next

After a member joins the consortium, they must apply for access permission. Consortium members can connect to the blockchains within the consortium only after their applications for the access permission are approved.
