Add a User to Amplitude
Use this runbook when the collaborator needs access to Amplitude. The same workflow applies to the production org and any sandbox environments you share for QA.
Prerequisites
- Verify the correct Amplitude organization (URL) and list the projects the collaborator should join.
- Confirm whether SSO is required. If so, pre-provision the user in your identity provider and add it to the appropriate Amplitude group.
- Collect the collaborator’s service account email and decide which default project role (Admin, Manager, Member, Viewer) applies.
- Ensure you have Organization Admin privileges.
Invite the Service Account
- Log into Amplitude and open Settings → Members & Groups.
- Click Invite Members and enter the collaborator’s service account email.
- Choose the appropriate Organization Role (usually Member) and toggle any add-on modules (Govern, Experiment) required for the engagement.
- Under Projects, select the projects the collaborator should access and assign the correct project role for each (Admin for implementation support, Manager for analysis, etc.).
- Add a note referencing the statement of work or ticket number, then send the invite.
After Sending the Invite
- Monitor the Pending Invitations tab until the status changes to Accepted.
- Notify the collaborator’s team once access is active and share any VPN or SSO specifics.
- Update your access inventory spreadsheet or ITSM record with the invitation date and assigned role.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Invite not received: Ask your email team to allowlist
@amplitude.com
and resend the invite. - SSO blocking login: Confirm the user exists in your IdP and is mapped to the same role or group you selected in Amplitude.
- Need temporary access: Set a calendar reminder to remove the account or adjust the invitation expiration in your tracker.
