In this section, you can see the list of all your existing users in the account, identified by their e-mail addresses, together with their assigned permissions.
One user defined as the “Owner” of the account can add (invite) more users. The “Owner” cannot be deleted from the account at any point. However, the additional users can be edited or deleted, with the corresponding buttons appearing in the right field under the “Actions” column.
Click on the “+Add User” button to add a new user. There are the User Details to be added or edited in an existing user’s event in the screen that appears. The following fields appear under “User Details”:

Below this information, there is a table that allows you to set permissions for the new user or change the existing permission settings for a current user.
Standard User Roles
Roles & Permissions define a user’s access rights to specific parts of your Account. These features are available under the “Users” section, accessible from the top-right menu of the Portal.
To make it easy for most of our Users, we have defined a set of standard Roles. In the “Standard” and “Pro” Plans, you can assign only one Role to each User, while in the “Enterprise” plan, you can assign a User one Role per Workspace.

Example 1
Suppose you give a user the authority to “View” Schedules by clicking on the relevant box. In that case, it automatically means that they will also view Media files, Playlists, and Layouts since they are all contained in schedules. Hence, clicking “View” schedules, “view” will be automatically selected for Media, Playlists, and Layouts.
Example 2
Suppose you give a user the authority to “Change” Layouts. In that case, it automatically means that the user will also be able to view them, and since Layouts contain Playlists and Media files, that user will be able to view those files. Therefore, clicking “Change” Layouts will automatically select “View” on Layouts, Playlists, and Media.
