Screenful FAQ
How do I invite my colleagues from Jira?
You can invite colleagues by sending them an invitation.
If you have installed Screenful via the Atlassian Marketplace, your colleagues can join by simply clicking on the Screenful app link within the Jira UI (see the “Apps” menu on the top navigation). They will be prompted to signup after which they will join the account created by you. Initially they have “Member” status and can access all the Screenful features. You can change their status in the Account settings.

How to invite other users via the Jira Cloud add-on?
If you have installed Screenful via the Atlassian Marketplace, others will also see the Screenful link in the Jira UI, and when they click it, they are shown the signup form. So you don't have to send invitation emails in order to invite colleagues, although you can do that as well. When they fill out the form, they will be added to your Screenful account. You can adjust their role and permissions at Account-->Manage Users.

Why do I need to create a separate Screenful account for the Jira Cloud add-on?
Screenful stores data outside Jira so a mechanism for authentication and authorisation is needed. Screenful can always be used in stand-alone mode, just browse to screenful.com/login and log in with your Screenful credentials.
