How it works
Lets the invitee see which school they're joining and what permissions they'll get, and accept with one button.
The person opens the link and logs in (or signs up). They see "You have been invited to join the team of", the school's name and description, As a staff member (employee), and a note that joining gives them access to the admin dashboard. If the link carries permissions, they're listed under "You will be granted:".
After Join the team the person becomes an employee with the link's permissions, groups and reach, and gets a "you're on the team" notification. Go to Admin Dashboard takes them there.
Good to know
A single-use link shows a warning that it works only once; a limited link shows how many uses are left.
If you're already an employee you see "You are already on the team": nothing changes, but the link still counts as used.
