The users are listed alphabetically. You can reverse the order by clicking the blue caret next to the Name heading.
Enter a name in the Search field to quickly locate that user in the list.
Click the vertical ellipsis at the far right of a user’s entry to display a dropdown menu that offers different options depending on the status of the user.
These options are given below:

When you click Send Invite, an email invitation is sent out to the user’s email address.
Upon accepting the invitation, the newly created user should reset their password before they can gain access.

If a user’s status is Pending, you can resend an invite. Click the vertical ellipsis of the user to whom you want to send another invite, and select Resend user invite.
