If your team already uses FTE Tree, join through its invitation using the email address that was invited. Your account can belong to several organizations. Choose Start free only when you want to create a separate organization with its own trial.
Your account identifies you when you sign in. Membership connects that account to an organization, and its roles and department coverage determine your access there. An employee record describes someone whose work is managed; it does not create an account or membership. Use the invitation and organization choices below to reach the workspace your team uses.
Accept your invitation
- Follow the link in the invitation email.
- Sign in or create an account with the invited email, then verify that address.
- Review the invitation on Welcome or under Profile, then Invitations.
- Choose Join organization.
- Complete the organization’s company sign-in or MFA requirement when prompted.
You do not need an organization permission to accept. The invitation must be active and match your verified account email. FTE Tree does not accept it automatically.
If the invitation is missing
Open Profile, then Email, and compare the verified address with the invitation. Aliases and forwarded messages do not change the invited address. If you have no organization yet, Welcome shows invitations for your verified email.
Verify the invited address on your intended account if it should be your account email, or ask the administrator to cancel and replace an invitation sent to the wrong address. Avoid creating extra accounts to test addresses.
Check invitation status
| Status or message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Scheduled | Wait for its start date or ask the administrator to update it |
| Expired | Ask the administrator to update its dates or send a replacement |
| Canceled | Ask whether a new invitation is appropriate |
| Accepted | Open the organization instead of accepting again |
| A selected role is unavailable | Ask the administrator to select an available role |
| Company sign-in is required | Use the intended company account and complete its sign-in requirements |
Someone with the Manage members permission can correct or resend an invitation. They should check the exact address, dates, allowed email domains, selected roles, and department coverage. Once corrected, return to Profile, then Invitations, instead of relying on an old email link.
If you joined but cannot see records
Membership can be active without an access role. Ask your administrator to check your roles and department coverage in FTE Tree. Company sign-in confirms who you are; your administrator assigns your access separately.
Joining does not bypass company sign-in. A browser may have selected a personal Microsoft or Google account; use the company account intended for this organization. Your company’s IT administrator can help with company-account or provider MFA problems.
If the organization opens, the invitation succeeded. Use Cannot see a record or action for missing access rather than requesting another invitation.
Switch organizations
Open the organization selector and choose the organization you want. Complete any company sign-in or MFA check it requires.
Each organization keeps separate records, roles, departments, settings, and subscription access. Switching does not copy information or carry your permissions into another organization. Check the organization name before making a change, especially when using several browser tabs.
If an organization will not open
The status page explains whether entry is blocked by inactive membership, organization availability, sign-in requirements, or MFA. Follow that message or ask the listed organization contact. Recovering sign-in access does not restore removed organization access.
For an unresolved invitation problem, contact support with the organization, invited email, invitation status, visible message, and approximate time. Never include passwords or one-time codes.
Optional practice: join the right organization
For exercises that change records, use a separate practice organization and complete the preparation below.
Practice steps and checks
- Open your invitation to Evergreen.
- Sign in with the email address that was invited.
- Review the organization and accept.
- Check Evergreen in the header before opening the positions in Outpatient Services.
If you signed in with another email, follow the invitation/account steps above. Do not create another organization just to get past an invitation problem.
Next, set up sign-in verification.
