Team Management
Effective team management is essential for maintaining secure and efficient plugin access across your organization. PluginBoard's team management features allow administrators to control user permissions, manage access levels, and maintain security standards.
Understanding User Roles
PluginBoard offers three distinct user roles to manage access and capabilities within your account:
Role | Description | Use Case |
---|---|---|
Admin | Full administrative access to all PluginBoard features, including user management, plugin deployment, and account settings. | Assign to IT managers, department heads, or technical leads responsible for overseeing the plugin ecosystem. |
Developer | Access to develop, deploy, and manage plugins but cannot modify account settings or manage other users. | Assign to in-house developers, consultants, or technical staff who create and maintain plugins. |
User | Basic access to discover, install, and use plugins but cannot modify or deploy them. | Assign to end users who need to access approved plugins in their design software. |
Inviting Team Members
To add new users to your PluginBoard account:
- Navigate to the administration area by clicking Management in the top menu bar
- Select the Team tab from the sidebar
- Click the Invite User button in the top-right corner
- Complete the user information form:
- First name and last name
- Email address (must be a valid work email)
- Select the appropriate role from the dropdown
- Click the Confirm button to send the invitation
Once invited, the new team member will receive an email with:
- A welcome message with your organization name
- A temporary password for initial login
- Instructions for setting up their account
Note: Invited users must change their temporary password after first time login.
Managing Existing Users
Editing User Information
To modify a user's profile or permissions:
- Navigate to the administration area by clicking Management in the top menu bar
- Select the Team tab from the sidebar
- Locate the user you wish to edit in the team list
- Click the Edit button on the same row
- Update any of the following information:
- First and last name
- Role assignment
- Click Save to apply your changes
Changes to a user's role take effect immediately.
Deleting Users
To permanently remove a user from your organization:
- Navigate to the administration area by clicking Management in the top menu bar
- Select the Team tab from the sidebar
- Find the user you wish to remove
- Click the Delete button next to their name
- In the confirmation dialog, type the user's first name to confirm deletion
- Click the Delete button to permanently remove the user
Warning: User deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. All user-specific settings, history, and preferences will be removed from your account. Consider deactivating users instead if you may need to restore their access in the future.
