I am trying to add a user but it says the email is already used in Box but not associated with an enterprise. How do I add them to my group?

👋 Hi ​@KCarlson, welcome to the Box Community!

 

The error message you're seeing means that the user you're trying to invite already has a personal Box account associated with that email address.
 

To add this user to your enterprise, please follow the steps below:

  1. After receiving the initial error message “1 user failed to be added,” you can ignore it and click the Save button again. Saving a second time will initiate the invitation process.

  2. An email invitation will be sent to the user, along with a notification in their Box account indicating they’ve been invited to join your enterprise account.

  3. Once the user accepts the invite, they will be rolled into the enterprise.

Looking forward to great results! 🤗
