Before You Start

Before managing team members, make sure:

Troubleshooting / FAQs

What happens if a user doesn’t accept the invitation?
The user remains inactive. Remove the invitation and send a new one.

Can I change a user’s email after inviting them?
No. You must remove the user and send a new invitation.

Why can’t I edit a role?
You may not have permission to manage that role level.
A staff member has invited the user, but hasn’t taken any action yet.
An invitation email has been sent containing a verification link and a one-time code. The account exists in the system but remains inactive until the user confirms their email. Users in the "Invited" state are displayed with a "Not active yet" badge.

The staff member registered how to log in.
The user has fully completed account setup—email confirmed, name provided, and password set. They can log in (via password or social login), manage their profile, configure two-factor authentication, and access all available features.

Can't the user find the invitation email?

If certain the invitation was sent before but can't find the email now, from the login page, tap on the Activate now button, enter the user email, and get the activation code.

Don't remember the password?

From the login page, tap on the " Forget password " button, enter the staff email, and change the password.


You don't want to login everytime open the dashboard?
Mark the '' Remember for 30 days '' in the login page.
