You can view users under the Users tab of Organization Settings. To invite new users, click Invite New User on the right side of the page above the user list search bar.
Fill out user details and then click Save. This will send the new user an invite via email. Remind new users to check their spam folder if they can't find the invite!
User permissions
To give an invited user permission (or edit permissions for an existing user) click + Add a Team to add a new team.
A list of choices based on existing teams will then be available to choose from. Once a team is chosen, you can give the user "Manager" or "Can Edit" permissions by checking the corresponding boxes.
In this example, a user is being added to the sales team as a rep (non-manager) - they will be able to create and view their own jobs. To give more granular permission, use teams that limit the number of phases to a smaller set. Sales covers all phases from address to proposal.
Note: you can also click "Remove" to remove a person from a particular team they're in.
Can I edit User Settings so a user only has access to his/her own jobs?
Yes, you can do this! For any team, a user will only have access to other jobs if the "Manager" checkbox is checked. If you'd like to ensure a user only has access to his/her own jobs, make sure that the Manager checkbox is turned off, and only the Can Edit checkbox is checked.
To do this, you may follow these steps:
- Go to https://engine.sighten.io/gen/#/settings/organization
- Under the Users tab, choose the user that you'd like to edit or check permissions for (this also applies for when you're trying to add a user).
- If it's an existing user, click Edit (you'll find this on the upper right side of the screen). If inviting a new user, make sure the Settings under Teams is as specified below.
- Under Teams, ensure that Manager checkbox is left blank and the Can Edit? checkbox is checked (highlighted on the screenshot below).
- Click Save on the upper right side of the screen.
Here's a screenshot for reference:
Teams
Teams are a collection of functions (or phases) that a given team should have access to. The "Manager" and "Can Write" permissions are granted at the user level - teams specify the phases that can be accessed.
For example, the sales team has access to view all phases - from address to proposal. The address team only has access to address. A new team could be created, maybe a canvasing team, that has access to address and contact.
Admins can use the teams available out of the box, modify them, or create their own.
