Inviting Members
Add new members to an existing approval set.
Prerequisites
- An existing approval set in SplitSecure
- Web App paired with mobile app
- New members with SplitSecure mobile app installed
Navigate to Approval Set Members
In the Web App:
- Click Approval Sets in the sidebar
- Select the approval set you want to add members to
- Click the Members tab
- Click the Invite button
Start Invitation
When you click Invite:
- An invitation lobby is created
- A QR code is displayed for new members to scan
The invitation process is similar to approval set formation, but only new members need to scan the code. Existing members don’t need to rejoin.
Add New Members
Have New Members Scan
For each new member:
- They open the SplitSecure app on their mobile device
- They tap the scan button
- They point their camera at the QR code on your screen
Alternatively, share the lobby code verbally if they can’t see your screen.
Verify and Include Members
As new members join:
- Their devices appear in the members table
- Toggle the switch to include them in the invitation
- Enter their email address for identification
Click Next when all new members have been added.
Assign Shares
Choose how many shares each new member receives:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple | Each new member gets 1 share |
| Weighted | Choose how many shares each new member receives |
| Bespoke | Total control over share distribution |
Adding new members with shares increases the total shares in the approval set. The threshold requirements remain the same unless explicitly changed.
Review and Confirm
Review Invitation Details
The review page shows:
- New members being added
- Their email addresses
- Share allocations for each new member
Verify all information is correct.
Submit for Approval
- Click Confirm to submit the invitation
- A threshold proposal is created
- Existing approval set members must approve the invitation
Adding new members requires approval from existing approval set members. The number of approvals needed depends on your approval set’s threshold configuration.
Wait for Threshold Approval
The progress page shows:
- Which existing members have approved
- Which are still pending
- Overall invitation status
Once the required threshold is reached, new members receive their shares.
New Member Acceptance
Notification Received
After approval, each new member:
- Receives a notification on their mobile device
- Opens the SplitSecure app
- Reviews the approval set invitation details
Accept Membership
New members complete joining by:
- Reviewing the approval set they’re joining
- Tapping Accept to confirm
- Receiving their threshold shares
Once accepted, they appear as full approval set members.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| New member’s device doesn’t appear | QR code not scanned correctly | Have them try scanning again |
| Invitation stuck at “Waiting for approval” | Existing members haven’t approved | Contact existing approval set members to approve on their devices |
| “Insufficient threshold” error | Not enough members available to approve | Ensure enough existing members are available to meet threshold |
