Summary
Users can be added to Gem in the following ways:
-
They can go directly to gem.com and log in with their work email address.
-
A Gem Admin can invite them from the Team Settings dashboard.

A current Gem user can request a Review of a candidate from another team member who does not have a Gem account yet.
Instructions
Method 1: Signing in from gem.com

Go to the Gem website: https://gem.com

Click the "Login" button.

Method 2: Invitation by Gem Admin

Gem Admin: Go to your Team Settings dashboard.

Method 3: A non-Gem user received a Review request

Things to note
-
Allowlist - If your team has access to our Allowlist feature, new users will not be able to sign in until a Gem Admin has added the individual's email address to the list. The Allowlist can be updated/edited by Admins from the Team Settings dashboard. Note that the Allowlist is case-sensitive (i.e. Your.Name@company.com will be interpreted differently than your.name@company.com) and users will need to be added with their exact email address.
-
User Access - By default, new users will be added to Gem with Standard access. After they create an account, Gem Admins can edit their access level from the Team Settings dashboard. Alternatively, Gem Admins can change the default access that new users who sign up will have in advance from the Team Settings dashboard. More info on User Access levels can be found here.
-
SSO (single sign-on) - By default, Gem will use either Google or Microsoft OAuth to sign users in. If your team uses an identity provider (ex. Okta or OneLogin) to log into apps, users can still sign into Gem via the default Google or Microsoft login flow, but going through your identity provider instead will take some additional steps to configure. Gem also supports JIT (just in time) provisioning to help new users get signed in, as well.
