Brex offers three different ways for admins to add and manage users on their Brex account. You can use any of the following methods at any time, and switch between them as you see fit:

  1. Email (single invite)

  2. HRIS integration

  3. CSV upload

Email (single invite)

Admins can send an invitation to a single employee by email to help set up core users on the account. If you only have a handful of users that you’d like to invite to your Brex account, you may want to use this method.

If you’re using Brex’s HRIS Integration, you can use it to manage single-invite users. For this to work, you’ll want to make sure their Brex sign-in email matches their HRIS work email and that they’re listed as a full-time employee within the HRIS. Otherwise, the user will need to be managed manually from the Brex dashboard.

When inviting a new user to your account, you can select their manager, location, department, role, and limit.

Please see How do I invite new users to Brex? for more information.

HRIS integration

Admins can use Brex’s HRIS Integration to manually or automatically invite users to their Brex accounts. This option is best suited for those that have a large group of full-time employees established in HRIS and want to invite them all to their Brex account. By doing so, admins will still be able to manage details through their HRIS.

Brex will sync the user’s first name, last name, email, title, and manager on a daily basis.

Please see How do I invite new users in bulk via HRIS? for more information.

CSV upload

Admins can also invite users via CSV upload if they have yet to integrate HRIS or do not integrate with HRIS at all.

You can manage users who were invited through the bulk CSV upload via HRIS, as long as their Brex email matches the work email from the HRIS and they’re listed as a full-time employee within the HRIS. Otherwise, user details will need to be managed manually from the Brex dashboard.

After inviting your user

Once you’ve invited your user, they’ll receive an email inviting them to your Brex account. After clicking on the invite link, they’ll be asked to create a password and will be guided through the account activation workflow.
