#  VIP Dashboard access

To access [the VIP Dashboard](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/), a user must
receive and accept [an invitation to an organization](https://docs.wpvip.com/invite-new-users/)
and have an Org role assigned to them for that organization.

 * A user can only log in to an organization’s VIP Dashboard with the email address
   to which the invitation was sent.
 * A user’s email address can be invited to the VIP Dashboard by more than one organization.
 * After accepting an invitation, users can [log into the VIP Dashboard](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/vip-dashboard-log-in/)
   with multi-factor authentication. To use a GitHub or WordPress.com user account
   for authentication, it must be registered with the same email address to which
   the VIP Dashboard invitation was sent.
 * [Access to an application’s GitHub repository](https://docs.wpvip.com/github-user-access/)
   is not required for access an organization’s VIP Dashboard. A user’s GitHub user
   account can be used for multi-factor authentication without having access to 
   an application’s GitHub repository.

## Access permissions

The access permissions assigned to a user in the VIP Dashboard define that user’s
ability to view, manage, or trigger actions on applications and environments in 
the VIP Dashboard and with [VIP-CLI](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-cli/). Access permissions
for the VIP Dashboard and VIP-CLI are defined by the **[Org role](https://docs.wpvip.com/manage-user-access/vip-dashboard/org-roles/)**
that is assigned to a user. Users that are assigned an Org guest role must also 
have **[App role](https://docs.wpvip.com/app-role/)** access permissions assigned
to them per-application.

 * To [log in to the VIP Dashboard](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/vip-dashboard-log-in/),
   a user must have at minimum an Org guest role with one [VIP organization](https://docs.wpvip.com/organization/).
 * Only users with an [Organization (Org) admin role](https://docs.wpvip.com/roles-and-permissions/)
   have the ability to [invite new users](https://docs.wpvip.com/invite-new-users/),
   [edit user roles](https://docs.wpvip.com/manage-user-access/vip-dashboard/edit-user-roles/),
   or [remove a user’s access](https://docs.wpvip.com/remove-user/) to an organization’s
   VIP Dashboard.
 * A list of users and their assigned Org and App roles can be reviewed in [the People panel in the Organization view of the VIP Dashboard](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/people/).
 * Events related to creating, modifying, and removing user access to the VIP Dashboard
   are logged in [an organization’s Audit Log](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-dashboard/audit-log/).
