By clicking the Add Member button, the customer can add a new member who will be added to the default group.

Customer Adding a New Member
The customer will enter the Name & Email of the member & click the Add Member button.

Now, you as an admin can configure if you want the customers to join the members with or without their approvals.
CASE 1: Auto-join option is Enabled & the customer has added a new member.
In this case, the new member simply gets notified via mail that the member is added to access customer’s account with certain permissions. Thus, the member will not get the option to accept or reject the request & is directly added.
Admin End>>Configuration>>General Configuration.
CASE 2: Auto-Join option is Disabled & the customer has added a new member.
