How can I manage users at organisation?

Organisation level offers you a seamless way to manage large number of users across different channels within your organisation. You can easily change roles of users within one specific or several selected channels. You can add and invite new users to one or more channels of your organisation. You can send reminders to your inactive users and you can even remove unwanted users from the organisation or from specific channels. You can perform all this activity all under single organisation dashboard without the need to switch between channels. 

Isn't it amazing? All thanks to the new organisation level!!

Please follow the instructions described below to understand how to manage users at organisation level.

For adding new users to channels of your organisation:

The process for adding new users to channels of your organisation is very similar to previous process of adding user in a channel dashboard. Simply: 

Go to 'Users' tab



Click on 'Add Users' button



Enter the valid Email of the users and Name (optional)



Note: In case you want to invite multiple readers at once, please click on 'Add another reader' button or select 'Multiple readers invite' for adding bulk users and then click 'Parse'



Select the role of users as a Reader, Editor or Admin. To know more about different user roles, please check: What is the difference between Admin, Curator/Editor, and Reader?



Select the channel(s) in which you want to add the users. By default, all channels of your organisation are pre-selected. You can remove the default setting by simply clicking on the 'All channels' check box and then selecting the channels of your choice manually



Click on 'Add Reader/Editor/Admin' depending on the selected user role

Note: When you invite an user as Reader, you will get an additional option to 'Generate code' where instead of sending the invitation email to the user, you can ask for the pre-generated password on behalf of the user and you can later personally invite the user along with the password. To know more about this amazing feature, please check out: How do I invite users with a personal / customized email?

Once the user(s) were successfully added to your channel(s), you will get the success message with preview of all the details. In case the invited user is already a part of any selected channel, you will be acknowledge by us and the user will be added to the rest of the channels.
