Set roles and teams
On this page
On the “Members” screen you change a person's role, create teams and assign people, and remove someone who has left. The three roles — “Admin”, “Manager”, “Member” — change what a person sees and can do.
1. Change a role
Switch roles with the selector on each row.
- Open “Manage” and select “Members & invites” for the “Members” screen.
- On that person's row, choose “Admin”, “Manager” or “Member” in the selector.
- You are done when “Role updated” appears. If you picked wrong, select “Undo” in that message.
Tip: Only an admin can raise someone to “Admin”, and a manager cannot change an existing admin's role. You cannot change your own role, so ask another admin to hand over.
2. Create a team and assign people
A team is the scope a manager reads and the filter unit for the feed and submissions.
- In “Teams” on the “Members” screen, type a name in “New team name (e.g. Crew 2)” and select “Create”.
- When “Team created” appears, select “Edit team assignment” for the person you want to assign.
- Check the teams to assign. One person can belong to several.
- You are done when “Team assignment updated” appears.
3. Remove someone who has left
Caution: A removed person can no longer see this company's data, even signed in. Their submitted reports and comments are kept. The billed seat count changes from the next invoice.
- On the “Members” screen, select “Remove” on that person's row.
- Check the name in the confirmation and continue.
- You are done when the person disappears from the list.
If it does not work
- You cannot change a role to “Member”? — If “The last manager/admin cannot be changed to a member” appears, only one person is on the management side. Make someone else a “Manager” or an “Admin” first.
- Someone you invited cannot join? — The invite link has expired or hit its usage limit. See The invite link does not work.
FAQ
- What can a manager see? — Only reports of the teams they belong to. An admin sees every team.
- Can one person be in several teams? — Yes. Check every team needed in “Edit team assignment”.
- Are a removed person's reports deleted? — No. Reports and comments stay as company records.
