Invite your team to a forms project
OrionGIS web 1.53.0Released 9 November 2026
A forms project's team page now has Platform members: invite anyone by email or OrionGIS username as a data collector or team member, see who is on the project, and remove people — with accounts auto-created and a sign-in link emailed when the person has no account yet.
Changes since 1.52.0.
#New
- Invite by email or OrionGIS account. On a forms project's team page (OrionForms → project → Team & roles), the new Platform members card lets the owner invite anyone as a data collector (Home + OrionForms, open → fill → submit only) or a team member (the organisation's full forms and dashboards experience).
- Accounts are created for email invites. Inviting an email that has no OrionGIS account creates the account, links it to the project with the chosen role, and emails the person a one-time sign-in link that lands them straight on their forms. An existing account gets an invitation email and just signs in.
- The team list. The card lists everyone linked to the project with their role and join date, and lets an owner remove a member (a removed collector's account returns to a normal account).
- Guards. Only a project's platform members (never a collector) can invite or remove. Orion staff accounts can't be invited. An account that belongs to a different client organisation is refused, so a project can't pull in people from another organisation's team.
#Notes
- Platform members are separate from the ODK Central roles in Roles & permissions: the platform role decides what the person sees on OrionGIS; the ODK roles decide ODK-side operations.
- A collector removed from a project loses the forms with the membership; the account itself remains active.
