Invite users

Before starting

You can create different users to access your account. For security purposes, we strongly recommend that everyone has their own access codes. This way, each user will have their own password and will be able to retrieve it easily in case of loss. This will also allow you to use two-factor authentication to protect your account. And if someone leaves your organization, you can simply delete their user, and they will automatically lose access to the account. This is much less work than sharing a new password with multiple people or risking forgetting to do it. Finally, in order for someone to be authorized to communicate with us about your account, their name must be in the list of account users. This will also speed up the processing of your support requests.

Note that there is no limit to the number of users you can create.

User types

There are three types of users:

  • administrator
  • user
  • custom 

Administrators are the users who have the highest level of access to your account. They are the only ones who can create, delete or modify other users, including their passwords. They are also the only ones who can create API tokens.

Users, on the other hand, have access to all account features except those reserved for administrators. They cannot see or modify other users, nor can they create new ones. They can only edit their own profile.

Users with custom permissions are users who have access to the basic permissions, in addition to the permissions you decide to grant them. Choose from the list of customizable permissions the ones you want to add to each user's profile.

  4. Then click on the Send invitation button. An email will be sent to the user. The email will contain an invitation link to allow the user to complete their profile and finish creating their user.

The invitation link is valid for 7 days. If it expires or if the person loses their email, you can resend them a new invitation from the Users page of your account. Simply click the Resend invitation button to the right of their email in the Pending invitations' section. If you made a mistake when creating the invitation (such as a typo in the email address) or if you want to cancel the invitation, click on the trash can icon.

About external users
Did you know that you can invite users from another account to access yours? To do this, we create a multi-account access that allows them to navigate between accounts with a single login. It also allows them to share templates between different accounts. You can customize their user type and permissions to restrict their activities in your account. Users from other accounts who have access to yours are listed under the External users' section on your account's Users page. To learn more or to request the creation of this type of access, contact us.
