A user role is a collection of different permissions. During adding a new member to your project you can choose a user-role. You grant that member all permissions which this user-role contains as soon you added the member to your project.

Adding users to an organization

There are two ways to add users to an organization:

Directly to the organization:

  1. On the left side navigation, select the user's page

  2. Click on add new user

  3. Type the user's email address and the name of the user

  4. Add the user

This gives the user access to the organization. Per-Default with Admin-user role rights. However, they won't see any of the app projects listed in the organization unless they're explicitly invited to the app project as a member or if they create their own app project from the dashboard page. As soon as you have create your new user they will get an invitation e-mail to verify their account.

Directly within an existing project as a project member:

  1. Select your app project

  2. Go to Project Settings

  3. Select Users & Permission (Project Members)

  4. Invite new project member

  5. Type the user's email address and select the user-role

  6. Select the applications of your project where your user should get access

  7. Invite him

If the newly added member is already a user within your organization he will now have access to your app project with the given user-role.

If the new added member is not already a user of your organization, he will get an invitation e-mail from Updraft, after verifying his account he is able to see the app project where he was invited to.

Advanced access Organization level

Managing user access to app environments

As an organization Owner , you can control user access to specific app environments within an app project. Here's how to manage access:

Steps to Manage Access

  1. Disable Access to a Single App Environment:

    • Owner can disable a user's access to a specific app environment, preventing them from viewing or interacting with it.

  2. Enable Access to a Single App Environment:

    • Owner can grant a user access to a specific app environment of a project.

  3. Enable Access to Multiple App Environments:

    • Owner can enable access for a user to multiple app environments simultaneously.

Additional Guidelines

  • Dashboard Visibility:

    • If a user has project access but no access to any app environments within it, the project will not be visible on their dashboard.

  • Direct URL Access:

    • Users without access to a specific app environment cannot access it via direct URL in the dashboard.

  • Admin Role Access:

    • When adding a user with the Admin role to a project, no specific apps need to be selected. Admins of a project automatically have access to all app environments in the project.

  • Tester/Mobile-User Role Access:

    • When adding users with the Tester or Mobile-User role to a project, you can select which apps they can access.

Adding a New Member

When adding a new member to a project, owner and admin can define their access to specific apps/environments in a second step, ensuring precise control over user permissions.

Transfer account owner rights

Only one person can have the rights of the account owner. A user with account owner privileges can transfer their account owner privileges to another user within their organization. As soon as an account owner has transferred his rights to another user, this user receives the user role 'Admin' and no longer has access to the projects of the organization.

  1. Login as account owner

  2. Go to usermanagement page

  3. Select the user you would like to transfer your owner account

As an Owner you can always see the status of 2FA for all users from your organization.

If 2FA is enforced for your organization you can disable 2FA for specific users by:

  1. On the left side navigation, select the page Users

  2. Select User from the list

  3. Check the status of 2FA

  4. Disable it
