# “Friends”

In the *Social network* tab, you can make contacts and invite them as *Friends* (a rather free use of the term *friend*!). You can search for people by:

* clicking the *Invitations* link in the left menu ![](/files/-LioWIHk__YIHsnDSdL-),
* click *Search*.

By simply entering a few characters of the user's first or last name, Chamilo will help by proposing a list of users matching these characters. The invitation can then be sent to the user, who can choose whether to accept or refuse it.

The *Friends* link ![](/files/-LH9D0SIq5A6wYGnF-sF) gathers all friends you have linked to on the platform. It allows you to see the shared profile of the user and send him a message with a click on his name.
