Organizations support multiple members, each with a customizable set of permissions. This lets you control exactly who can create quests, spend credits, access data, and more.
Adding Members
Members are added by searching for existing Fusion users by username:
- Navigate to your organization’s settings
- Go to the Members tab
- Search for a user by username
- Select permissions to grant
- Click Add Member
The user must already have a Fusion account. There is no email invitation flow — add members by their existing username.
