How do I invite or remove participants for a conversation?

This article will walk you through how to invite or remove participants for a conversation.

By default, any user can initiate a conversation and invite any number of teams and/or individual users to participate. For example, members of Team1A can invite users in any team in the organization.
No Containers
If containers have been implemented within the team structure, users can only invite teams and/or users that are within their container. A container is that team plus all teams below. For example, Team1 is set as a container. Members of Team1A can only invite users in Team 1A, Team 1B, and Team1.
