Manage users PLUS

If you have a multi-user plan such as the PLUS plan, you can manage the users attached to the plan.

The administrator(s) of the organization can modify the org's preferences, add or remove users, and update their roles. To access the organization management features:

Click on your avatar in the upper right-hand corner
Select Organization from the menu. This will bring up the organizational preferences screen. What you can do is covered beneath.

By default, all Plus plan subscribers are the administrator of their organization.

How to invite new users

To build your organization, you need to invite new users. Each new user that accepts your invite will be added to your organization as a Plus subscriber.

To add a new user:

Enter the email address of the user you wish you invite. This can be a new user to TakeTurns or an existing TakeTurns user.
Set the role of the user. Only individuals assigned the "Administrator" role can administer the organization.
Click Invite. TakeTurns will send an invitation to the email address you provided. And the invited user will appear in your users list with a " Pending invitation" status until they accept the invite.

How to resend an invitation

If you need to resend the invitation, click the resend button 🔄 next to the pending user's name.

How to rescind (cancel) an invitation

If you must cancel the invitation, click “x” next to the pending user's name.

How to change an existing user's role

At any point in time, you can switch a user's role between “User” or “Administrator.” Keep in mind that you will always need to have at least one administrator in your organization. To change a user's role:

Click on the user's role drop-down
Choose the appropriate role

The role change will be applied immediately.

How to remove users

At any point in time, administrators can remove users from their organization. To remove a user from your organization:

Find the user you wish to withdraw from the user list
Click on the X, or remove button
Select another user from your organization to replace the removed user in existing collaborations. You select a replacement user to ensure the continuity of your existing collaborations. This is useful when employees leave your organization.

The removal will be applied immediately.
