Effectively managing your workspace members is crucial for maintaining a productive and secure environment. This guide will help you understand how to manage users, organize teams, and set appropriate access levels through our role-based system.

Manage members of your Workspace

To begin managing your workspace members, you'll need to access the user management section:

Click on Workspace Settings at the bottom of your screen
Navigate to the Manage Members tab

Manage members by Teams

Teams are a powerful way to streamline your workspace organization. Instead of managing permissions and access for each user individually, you can group members into teams based on their departments, projects, or responsibilities. This makes it significantly easier to manage large groups of users and quickly grant access to new projects.

Creating a New Team

Go to Workspace Settings
Select the Manage Members tab
Click Create Team

Add members to teams

Go to Workspace Settings
Select the Manage Members tab
Search for the desired user
Click + Add Teams next to their name
