Members & invitations
Invite colleagues to your team, manage their roles and remove them.
Everyone who works in ABlyft is a member of your team and has one of four roles. Members of a team can open all projects of that team. Invitations and member management are done on one page.
Open User Management
- Open the user menu in the top bar and click Team settings.
- In the sidebar, click User Management.
The page is available for the roles Admin and Owner. It shows two tables: Users of Team … with the current members, and Pending User Invitations for Team ….
Invite new users
- Click Invite new user.
- Enter one or several addresses under Email address(es), separated by commas or new lines.
- Choose a role (Viewer, Member, Admin or Owner). The preselected role is Member. Owner is only offered if you are an owner; admins see the other three. See Roles & permissions for what each role can do.
- Click Submit.
ABlyft sends an email to each valid address and confirms with "Invitations sent to N user(s)". Addresses that are not valid email addresses are ignored. If none is valid, you see "No valid email addresses found".
Team size limit
The number of members depends on your plan. If the limit is reached, the dialog shows "Your plan does not allow you to invite new users" and the form is disabled. Contact ABlyft to upgrade.
What the invited person does
An invitation is valid for 7 days. The link in the email is personal.
- New to ABlyft: the link opens Accept Invitation. The email address is fixed. Fill in the form and click Accept invitation and sign up. ABlyft creates the account, adds it to your team and signs the person in.
- Already has an ABlyft account: the person receives an email and a notification in ABlyft with the button Accept invitation. Opening the link while signed in adds them to your team immediately.
- Your team uses single sign-on: the link sends the person to your identity provider instead, see Single sign-on.
The invitation only works for the invited email address. If someone is signed in with a different account, ABlyft refuses it.
Pending invitations
Open invitations are listed in Pending User Invitations for Team … with the email address, role, when it was sent and when it expires, and who invited. For each invitation you can:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resend | Sends the email again with a fresh link and a new 7-day validity. |
| Edit | Changes the role of the invitation before it is accepted. Invitations for the role Owner can only be edited by owners. |
| Delete | Withdraws the invitation. |
You can also select several invitations and delete them together.
If you invite an address that already has a pending invitation, ABlyft does not send a second email. Use Resend instead.
Change a member's role
In Users of Team …, click Change role next to a member, choose Viewer, Member, Admin or Owner and save. The change applies immediately. You cannot change your own role.
Only owners can give someone the role Owner or change the role of an owner. For admins, Owner is not in the list and the owners' rows have no Change role button. Trying it anyway shows "Only owners can change owner roles."
Edit a member's details
Owners can click Edit next to another member to change the name and email address. If you change the email address, the person has to verify the new address again.
Remove members
- In Users of Team …, click the trash icon (Remove) next to the member and confirm. To remove several people, select them and use Remove selected users.
- The person loses access to the team and all its projects.
Removing someone only removes them from your team. Their ABlyft account itself remains, as it may be used in other teams. You cannot remove yourself. Only owners can remove owners: for admins, the owners' rows have no Remove button, and Remove selected users skips owners.
