When Sutro is first configured, a root account is created for initial setup and administration. From there, you can add additional members using one of the methods below.

Add members

1. Invite by email

Invite members directly via email. The invitation includes a setup link. Once they create their account, they’re automatically added to your organization.
This is the simplest and most controlled onboarding method.

2. Self-signup

Allow users to register without an invitation. By default, self-signed users have no access until they’re approved or belong to a pre-registered domain.

Approve members

Automatic approval

Users are automatically added to your organization if:
  • Their email matches a pending invitation, or
  • Their domain is already registered and verified.
Any matching invitations are automatically marked as accepted.

Manual approval

If a user signs up without an invitation or verified domain, a member with the proper permissions must approve them manually.
Only members with authorization can approve new members.

Member domains

You can automatically approve members from trusted domains by registering those domains with the User Management API (UAPI).
  1. Register your domain using the UAPI.
  2. Add the DNS record provided by the API to verify ownership.
  3. Once verified, users with matching email domains are automatically approved.
DNS verification can take some time depending on propagation speed.
