Feature Description

I know how to add members in Teams, but there is a very hidden link before adding. You need to click "Teams"→team's name→"Add Team Member". Users who use gitea for the first time don't know that the team's name can be clicked.

It would be better if they can directly add the "Invite Member" button function on the "Members" page, and then specify the Team to which the Member belongs.

look at what github does https://github.com/orgs/go-gitea/teams

If it is designed in a style similar to GitHub, will it avoid embarrassment?

Maybe yes? and I have repeatedly checked other pages of Gitea, most of them are card-style design, and the title of each card-style design is almost a uniform text form, not a link (except for browsing code and commit). And links are marked in green or blue.

I have gone through this flow twice (adding a new user to an org), and both times it was not obvious how to perform this action. Both times, I eventually had to use a search engine and ended up at this issue :)

Also landed here after failing to see how to add a user to an org. Even after reading this issue 6 times it was still not obvious how to do it. Not helped that the "search" field for "Add team member" on the "Owners" team seems to not work unless you enter the entire username.

Spending much time for finding how to add member in organization and finally end up here, it would be a big help if make it obvious.

In the recent version, there is a new button near the leave means view which is the same link as the team name.

+1, I already use gitea for years. Everytime I create a team I'll google how to add a team member. There is constently seeing "Leave" button but not "Add" button, which is frustrating.

very much this - atm I'm trying to figure out where the heck is the "add members" button and I simply can't find it. It's super uintuitive.

This setup is practically anti-human. I've searched multiple times and keep forgetting how to add organization members. Can't they just make it intuitive by adding a button directly on the organization members page?
