How to invite and create users in the BlazeMeter University

In the BlazeMeter University, we have Groups that are useful for managing teams with multiple users, all looking to learn more and enable themselves on BlazeMeter and the Open Source frameworks it's utilizing.

Groups are enrollment drivers. By placing users into specific groups you are automatically enrolling them in any courses the group is enrolled in.

Every Group has manager/s, who are those who can manage user's invitations, creation, and enrollments. Also, a Manager can generate reports that help to keep track of the group's progress and achievements. There is no limitation on the number of managers allowed per group, and a manager can manage more than 1 group as well.

Invite via Link & Sign Up

This might seem obvious, but the simplest way to invite someone into the university would be to share the main university URL. You can go with the URL of our sign up/log in page - university.blazemeter.com, or share our web page that is more informative and welcoming - blazemeter.com/university
