A user is anyone who logs in to Cypress Cloud.

Invite users​

Organization owner or admin roles can invite Cypress Cloud users. Those invited will see the projects and tests the user has team permissions to view.

Note: only owners can give other users 'owner' access.

Invite a user to an organization:​

  1. Select the organization you want to invite a user to.
  2. Click Users & Teams, then Invite User.
  3. Add one or more emails, pressing Enter after each one, and select their role.
  4. Click Invite User.
  5. The user will receive an invitation email with a link to accept the invitation.

If you prefer to send your own message to users and include a link to join the organization, you can click Copy invite link and all users who accept this invitation will be given the default role of Member.

User requests​

Cypress App users can "request" access to a given organization. If a developer on your team has access to Cypress and your project's source code - they can request to be given access to your organization from within the Cypres App. This means instead of you having to invite team members up front, they can request access and you can choose to accept or deny them access.

Note: this option is not available if your Cloud organization is configured for SSO.

Request access to project

User updates​

To change a user email, an Owner or Admin can invite the new user/email address and delete the previous user/email address.

Update the billing email address via the Billing & Usage page within Cypress Cloud or by contacting [email protected] directly.
