# Invitations API **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
Use the Invitations API to send email to users you want to join a group or project, and to list pending
|
|
invitations.
|
|
|
|
## Valid access levels
|
|
|
|
To send an invitation, you must have access to the project or group you are sending email for. Valid access
|
|
levels are defined in the `Gitlab::Access` module. Currently, these levels are valid:
|
|
|
|
- No access (`0`)
|
|
- Minimal access (`5`) ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220203) in GitLab 13.5.)
|
|
- Guest (`10`)
|
|
- Reporter (`20`)
|
|
- Developer (`30`)
|
|
- Maintainer (`40`)
|
|
- Owner (`50`) - Only valid to set for groups
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
Due to [an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219299),
|
|
projects in personal namespaces don't show owner (`50`) permission.
|
|
|
