### How to invite users

* Click on the "**People**" section on the left-hand sidebar.
* Click on the "**Invite**" button.
* Enter the email address of the person you'd like to invite. If you invite a new person to Plausible, they will need to register for a Plausible account with the exact email address that you invited.

Viewers and admins don't need to have a paid subscription and can access the stats even without it.** Want to transfer the ownership of a site to the account that has a paid subscription?

* Click on the "**Invite**" button. We will email the invited person to notify them about your invitation. They will need to register for a Plausible account with the email address that was invited (or log in to their existing Plausible account registered with that email address) and accept your invitation. All invitations expire after 48 hours.

All invited users can use Plausible and view stats from sites they were invited to free of charge even without having their own subscription. It's also free of charge for you to invite as many users as you want.
### Who's responsible for the billing?

If the invited user adds a brand-new site to Plausible and becomes an owner of that site, then the trial comes into effect, and they'll need to subscribe to a plan to continue viewing the stats of the site they own after the trial expires.
Note that the owner of a site in Plausible is responsible for the billing of that site and needs to have an active paid subscription. All invited users (both Viewers and Admins) can use Plausible and view stats for sites they were invited to free of charge without having their own subscription.

If the invited user adds a brand new site to their Plausible account and becomes an owner of that site, then the trial comes into effect. They'll need to subscribe to a plan to continue viewing the stats of the site they own after the trial expires. As an alternative, they can transfer the ownership of a site they own to the account that has a paid subscription. That way they won't need a subscription themselves.
