Trying to add users to the organization space.
Despite being listed as a manager, not able to view any link to invite users.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Go to manage organization page (not space page), and you should see something like this:
Then, use Invite a New User link.
Also, in same page, double check your user id has a tick on MANAGER column.
Hope this helps.
Are you trying to add users to your own organization (or) an organization are you invited to ?
From Bluemix documentation here :
Users
The basic role in organizations and spaces. You must be assigned to an organization before you can be granted permissions to the spaces within the organization.
In Bluemix, you can be either a member or a collaborator of an organization:
You are a collaborator of an organization if you already have a Bluemix account, and someone else invites you to the organization.
You are a member of an organization if you don't have a Bluemix account, but then someone invites you to the organization and you sign up for Bluemix from the invitation.
Note: You cannot invite users to your organization if you are a collaborator of the organization, even if you were assigned as an organization manager. Therefore, if you previously registered for a Bluemix account before you were invited to this organization, you cannot invite users, regardless of your role. See Unable to add users to an organization for information about how to work around this problem.
Only the owner of the organization can invite any new users.
You can try inviting users from your own organization. (the one which come by default with the name as your Bluemix Id).

What am I missing? I know this question has been asked before but those answers don't help. Also, my scenario is as simple as has been described.
According to the Bluemix docs https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/admin/users_roles.html#userrolesinfo the Organisation Manager role can:
"...create, view, edit, or delete spaces within the organization, view the organization's usage and quota, invite team members to the organization, manage who has access to the organization and their roles in the organization, and manage custom domains for the organization."
It also says "Account owners and organization managers can invite team members to orgs from the Invite Team Members page."
I'm not the Owner of the organisation but I am a Manager of the organisation:
So, according to the docs, I should be able to see the Invite User button, but I can't. Is this a bug?
The description in the docs makes more sense than the current behaviour. I've been made an organisation manager so that the account owner can share the workload and so that he has a back-up in case he gets hit by a bus. It would be frustrating for him to have to go through and do all the inviting for spaces in our organisation.
Thanks,
Laura
Laura,
Not a bug, it's a context thing. Check the menu bar on the left. In order to invite someone to your Organization, you need to have the Organization highlighted on the left hand nav bar. Then you will see a screen that looks like this, with the link to invite a new user:
Once the person has been invited to the Organization, I can then add them to specific spaces within the organization. So now go and highlight one of the spaces under your organization. You will see a screen like this:
At this point you should see your newly invited user in the pulldown menu, and you should be able to give them access to a particular space within your organization.
Laura, to invite users you need to be a member of the organization and not collaborator. Can you please confirm if you are a member to the organization in question ? if not you will not be able to invite users even if you have the privilege of manager. Hope this helps.
I'm not able to create any bluemix apps under my own organization. When I tried to check the users for checking out access it displays ibmmanager#us.ibm.com with Manager access and the only access available for my user (listed as account owner) is Auditor. Help me fix it.
This is a problem with your account roles in that organization. In this case you have to contact your account manager that can provide you more privileges or open a new ticket in order to retrieve more information.
As GitHub user I can create an organization. What i don't understand -- Is an organisation independent?
Is it a repositories container, that needs a (user) account it belongs to or
is it for itself an (organization) account GitHub user (and doesn't need any personal user account)? Is it then correct to say, that an organization is a "featured user" account -- an account with all the features of a personal user account (especially code management, commenting etc.) and some additional functionality?
The biggest difference between user accounts and organizations is team-based permissions for the repositories owned by the organization.
This means you can have team members under your organization and let them interact more aggressively with your repositories compared to plain contributors.
I'd say the concept of a GitHub organization is pretty independent from a plain GitHub user - they aren't the same thing. See for example how you can convert a user to an organization https://help.github.com/articles/converting-a-user-into-an-organization/
With that being said, organizations have what they call owners.
You can have multiple owners (i.e you can invite people to be owner of your organization along with you) but an organization cannot have zero owner.
For example, when you create an organization while logged under your account, the default first owner of the organization you just created is yourself.
Here's a more detailed list about the differences between a user and an organization
https://help.github.com/articles/what-s-the-difference-between-user-and-organization-accounts/
An organization is not a user, it doesn't have a password and you cannot log into an organization like you can to a personal/user account. But an organization can own repositories, which can be made accessible to actual persons/users who have passwords and can login.
You can turn a Github user account into an organization, but you can't turn an organization into a regular account.
Can I delete a Github organization and register a new account with the same name?
From the Github support staff, 2015-03-18:
Hi Pierre,
What if I delete an organization and register a new account? Will I be able to use the same username?
Yes.
Thanks,
James
