How to Invite Members to a Perplexity Space

Perplexity Spaces let you organize your searches and threads into dedicated folders for specific projects or topics. But a Space is only useful when the right people can see and contribute to it. You might need to share a Space with colleagues for a research project or with friends for a group trip plan. This article explains exactly how to invite other Perplexity users to your Space and control their access level.

What Are Perplexity Spaces and Their Sharing Options

A Perplexity Space is a shared workspace where you and other users can collect search threads, save pages, and collaborate on research. Each Space has its own thread list and can be private to you or shared with others.

Before you invite anyone, you need to know the two permission levels:

• Viewer: Can read all threads and pages inside the Space. Cannot create new threads, edit existing ones, or change Space settings.
• Editor: Can create new threads, edit any thread, and manage the Space content. Editors cannot delete the Space or change its sharing settings.

Only the Space owner — the person who created it — can invite members and change permissions. If you are not the owner, you cannot add people to the Space.

You can invite members by email or by sharing a link. Email invitations require the invitee to have a Perplexity account with that email. Link sharing lets anyone with the link join as a Viewer without a direct invitation.

Steps to Invite Members by Email

This method sends an email invitation to each person. They must accept the invitation to appear in the member list.

1. Open the Space you want to share
   Go to the Perplexity web app or desktop app. In the left sidebar, click the Space name. If you have many Spaces, scroll or use the search bar above the list.
2. Click the Share button
   In the top-right corner of the Space view, click the Share button. A panel slides out from the right side of the screen.
3. Enter email addresses
   In the text field labeled Invite people, type the email address of each person you want to invite. You can add multiple addresses by pressing Enter or Tab after each one. The addresses appear as chips below the field.
4. Set the role for each person
   Next to each email chip, you see a dropdown menu. Click it and select either Viewer or Editor. You can assign different roles to different people in the same invitation batch.
5. Send the invitations
   Click the Send Invite button. Each person receives an email with a link to accept the invitation and join the Space. If they do not have a Perplexity account, they must create one first.

After the invitee accepts, they appear in the member list inside the Share panel. You can change their role or remove them at any time by clicking the three-dot menu next to their name.

Steps to Invite Members via Link Sharing

Link sharing creates a public URL that anyone with the link can use to join your Space as a Viewer. This is useful for large groups or when you do not know everyone’s email address.

1. Open the Share panel
   Navigate to the Space and click the Share button in the top-right corner.
2. Toggle on Link Sharing
   In the Share panel, find the switch labeled Anyone with the link. Click it to turn it on. The panel now shows a URL and a Copy Link button.
3. Copy the link
   Click Copy Link. The URL is copied to your clipboard. Paste it into an email, chat message, or document to share it.
4. Tell recipients the role
   Anyone who clicks the link joins the Space as a Viewer. You cannot change the role for link-based invitations. If you need someone to be an Editor, use the email invitation method instead.

You can turn off Link Sharing at any time. Existing members who joined via the link remain in the Space. New users cannot join using the link after you disable it.

Common Issues When Inviting Members

Invitee Does Not Receive the Email

Check that the email address is spelled correctly. Ask the invitee to check their spam or junk folder. If the email still does not arrive, try inviting them again after 15 minutes. If the problem continues, use the link sharing method as a workaround.

Invitee Cannot Accept the Invitation

The invitee must have a Perplexity account. If they try to accept the invitation without an account, they are prompted to sign up. After they create an account using the same email address, the invitation becomes available. They can click the link in the email again or navigate to the Space manually if the owner added them directly.

Space Owner Cannot See the Share Button

This happens when you are not the Space owner. Only the original creator can invite members. If you need to share a Space but are not the owner, ask the owner to invite you as an Editor. Once you are an Editor, you can still invite other people — but only the owner can change the sharing settings.

Link Sharing Does Not Work

Make sure Link Sharing is toggled on. If the toggle is off, the link is not active. Also check that the Space is not set to Private. A private Space cannot use link sharing. If you need link sharing, change the Space visibility to Shared in the Space settings.

Item	Email Invitation	Link Sharing
Access method	Email link must be accepted	Anyone with the URL can join
Role available	Viewer or Editor	Viewer only
Requires account	Yes, with matching email	Yes, any account works
Best for	Known individuals with specific roles	Large groups or public projects

Now you can invite members to your Perplexity Space using email invitations for controlled access or link sharing for open collaboration. Start by deciding whether new members need edit rights or only view access. For ongoing projects, consider using email invitations with Editor roles so team members can add threads and update content directly. If you manage a large group, turn on link sharing but remember that all link joiners are Viewers — you may need to promote key contributors to Editor manually.
