# Invitations API **(FREE)**
Use the Invitations API to invite or add users to 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`). Valid for projects in [GitLab 14.9 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21432).
NOTE:
From [GitLab 14.9](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351211) and later, projects have a maximum role of Owner.
Because of a [known issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219299) in GitLab 14.8 and earlier, projects have a maximum role of Maintainer.

| `user_id` | integer/string | yes (if `email` isn't provided) | The ID of the new member or multiple IDs separated by commas. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350999) in GitLab 14.10. |
