This guide documents the new AWS Wickr administration console, released on March 13, 2025. For documentation on the classic version of the AWS Wickr administration console, see Classic Administration Guide.
You can create users in your Wickr network using the following methods:
-
Single sign-on — If you configure SSO, you can invite users by sharing your Wickr company ID. End users register for Wickr using the provided company ID and their work email address. For more information, see Single sign-on configuration for AWS Wickr.
-
Invitation — You can manually create users in the AWS Management Console for Wickr and have an email invitation sent to them. End users can register for Wickr by choosing the link in the email.
Note
You can also enable guest users for your Wickr network. For more information, see Guest users in AWS Wickr network
Complete the following procedures to create or invite users.
Note
Administrators are also considered users and must invite themselves to SSO or non-SSO Wickr networks.
To create Wickr users and send invitations with SSO:
Write and send an email to the SSO users who should sign up for Wickr. Include the following information in your email:
-
Your Wickr company ID. You specify a company ID for your Wickr network when you configure SSO. For more information, see Configure SSO in AWS Wickr.
-
The email address they should use to sign up.
-
The URL to download the Wickr client. Users can download the Wickr clients from the AWS Wickr downloads page at https://aws.amazon.com/wickr/download/
. Note
If you created your Wickr network in AWS GovCloud (US-West), instruct your users to download and install the WickrGov client. For all other AWS Regions, instruct your users to download and install the standard Wickr client. For more information about AWS WickrGov, see AWS WickrGov in the AWS GovCloud (US) User Guide.
As users register for your Wickr network, they are added to the Wickr team directory with a status of active.
To manually create Wickr users and send invitations:
-
Open the AWS Management Console for Wickr at https://console.aws.amazon.com/wickr/
. -
On the Networks page, select the network name to navigate to that network.
You're redirected to the Wickr network. In the Wickr network, you can add users, add security groups, configure SSO, configure data retention, and adjust additional settings.
-
In the navigation pane, choose User management.
-
On the User management page, under the Team directory tab, choose Invite user.
You can also bulk invite users by choosing the drop-down arrow next to Invite user. On the Bulk invite users page, select Download template to download a CSV template that you can edit and upload with your list of users.
-
Enter the user's first name, last name, country code, phone number, and email address. Email address is the only field that is required. Be sure to choose the appropriate security group for the user.
-
Choose Invite.
Wickr sends an invitation email to the address you specify for the user. The email provides download links for the Wickr client applications, and a link to register for Wickr. For more information about what this end user experience looks like, see Download the Wickr app and accept your invitation in the AWS Wickr User Guide.
As users register for Wickr using the link in the email, their status in the Wickr team directory will change from Pending to Active.
