title: How to manage public invite tokens
---

[Public invite links](../reference/public-signup.mdx) let you invite new members to an Unleash instance. A key part of an invite link is the public invite token. This guide shows you how to use the Unleash admin UI to create, update, and delete public invite tokens. You can also [manage public signup tokens via the Unleash API](../reference/api/unleash/public-signup-tokens.tag.mdx).

Only Unleash instance admins have the necessary permissions to create and manage public invite tokens.

## Creating a token

1. Navigate to the **users** page in Unleash and use the **create invite link** button

2. Fill out the "create invite link" form and (optionally) copy the invite link. You can always get the link later.
