User invites on Self Serve Portal
Hey guys, new to Kinde as we are currently migrating our SASS project over from NextAuth.
We had originally implemented everything ourselves, RBAC, user invites and management, etc.
After migrating our dev environment, I have noticed that there is a "Self Serve Portal" for organisations. This looks really cool and it appears it would simplify our authentication, however after granting our test users the permissions to use the members features on this portal, there is no option for it?
I do see a $10/per organisation upgrade available, is this only a feature if the organisation is upgraded? No big deal if it is but just wondering if I had done anything wrong.
Under the "Organisation settings" header on the sidebar of the self serve portal there are no options, even though we added the "org:read:members" permission to the role the user has.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
Based on the configuration steps in the self-serve portal setup, there are a few things to check for the organization member management functionality:
Configuration Requirements
First, ensure you've properly configured the self-serve portal in Settings > Environment > Self-serve portal. In the Organization profile section, you need to select the specific functions you want organization admins to be able to manage.
System Permissions
The self-serve portal uses system permissions to control access to each function. While you mentioned adding
org:read:members, the member management functionality is noted as "coming soon" in the current version.
According to the current capabilities, the self-serve portal allows authorized organization members to:
- Update business details
- Manage payment details (if billing is set up)
- Multi-factor auth settings (coming soon)
- Manage organization members (coming soon)
Current Status
The member management feature appears to still be in development. The portal currently supports business details and billing management, but organization member management is listed as a future feature.
Billing Consideration
The $10 per organization upgrade you mentioned likely relates to billing features rather than basic member management. The self-serve portal itself doesn't require the billing upgrade for basic functionality.
Recommendation
Since you're migrating from a custom implementation, you might want to continue using the [Kinde Management API](https://docs.kinde.com/kinde-apis/management#tag/organizations) for user and organization management until the member management features are released in the self-serve portal.
The member management functionality in the self-serve portal isn't available yet, so the missing options under "Organisation settings" is expected behavior rather than a configuration issue.Ok awesome thankyou, is there some sort of ETA for this feature in the portal or is it just on the road map some time in the future?
Currently, we cannot provide specific release timelines for this feature, but it is definitely on our roadmap.
