Manage Organisation Users

Organisation Admins can add, remove, and manage the users within their organisation, from within the Manage Organisation Users view.

Organisation administration is the highest level of administration within Carbon Editor.

In order to add a user to a Space within your Organisation, you must first add them to your Organisation.

Accessing the Manage Organisation Users View

To access the Manage Organisation Users view for an Organisation:

Click your current Organisation's name in the top navigation bar.
Under Administer Organisation, click Users.

Inviting new Users

Should you need to collaborate with people who do not yet have a Carbon Editor user account, you can send them an invitation to join an Organisation you are the admin of.

In doing so you will also be able to set up default permissions for them across your various Spaces.

A link will be sent to the invitee's email address. Upon clicking this link they will be presented with the standard registration form, which will let them choose their username and password.

Upon registering, they will gain access to your Organisation with the permissions of your choosing.

Simply click the "Invite Users" button on the Organisation administration's Users tab to get started.

You will be presented with a form which lets you specify:

the invitee's email address
a short message which will be included in the email sent to them
the permissions you desire:
- make the invitee an administrator of your entire Organisation
- more granular permissions for each Space within your Organisation.

Managing invitations

You can view the history and status of all sent invitations, cancel current ones or re-send them by expanding the "Invite Users" dropdown button and clicking "Review Invitations".
