Step 1, send an invite

  1. Settings, Users & Roles, Invite member.
  2. Enter the user's email.
  3. Pick the role.
  4. Send.

The user receives an email with a magic link. They click it, set a password, verify their email, and join.

Step 2, change a user's role

In the Users & Roles table, click the user's row and pick a new role. Changes apply on the user's next page load.

Step 3, off-board a user

  1. Find the user in the Users & Roles table.
  2. Disable removes their access immediately but keeps the audit trail.
  3. Delete removes them entirely.

For audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001), prefer Disable for users who left, Delete only for test accounts.

Best practices

  • Least privilege by default. Start everyone as Viewer; promote when they need it.
  • One Admin minimum, two recommended. Single point of failure if the only Admin loses access.
  • No shared accounts. Every user has their own email. Auditors specifically check for this.
