# Sign In & Sign Up

> Learn how to create an account and join an organization through invitations

There's no public sign-up form — every new account starts from an invitation email sent by an existing OWNER or ADMIN. That invitation is what ties your account to a specific organization from the moment you first log in.

## Understanding the Invitation Flow

PLai Framework uses **invitations** to manage organization access. Here's the overview:

1. Múltiplo creates Organization
2. Múltiplo invites OWNER/ADMIN
3. New Organization OWNER/ADMIN invites OWNER/ADMIN
4. Members receive email
5. Members Join organization

***

## Step 1: OWNER/ADMIN Invites You

An OWNER or ADMIN from your organization will send you an invitation to join.

### How Organizations Send Invitations

**From Organization Settings:**

1. Go to **Settings** → **Invitations**
2. Click **"New Invitation"**
3. Enter your email address
4. Select your organization role (VIEWER, MEMBER, ADMIN, OWNER)
5. Select a project to join
6. Select your project role
7. Click **"Send Invitation"**

The system sends you an email with a unique invitation link.

<Tip>
  An OWNER or ADMIN must have access to the organization settings to send invitations.
