Adding a New User
Anyone with the permission to manage team members will have access to the Teams tab in your Influence Settings.
Under the Teams tab, you'll see all of the current users in your organization and which tools they have access to in Influence. To add a new team member, click on the + Add user button in the top-right corner of the page.
In the following setup window, provide the person's name and email, toggle on the tools they should have access to, and toggle on any additional permissions you would like to grant them. If you toggle on the Manage Admins permission, this person will also have access to add or edit team members to your company. See the User Permission Options section below for more information on the available permissions.
When you are finished setting up the user, click the Add new button at the bottom of the window and an invitation email will be sent to the new admin so that they can set up their Influence account.
Editing a user's access
Any user in your team with the Manage Admins permission will have access to edit a user’s permissions. To edit the access for an existing user, click on the arrow to the right of the user in your Manage Team list and you will see details about the user’s current access.
From this view, you can grant or restrict the user’s access to any tool in Influence and edit any additional permissions they have. Any edits you make will be saved automatically.
Deleting a user
If you want to delete a user completely, click on the trash can icon in the top-right corner of their user details.
