Creating a user

You can create a new user that has access to the account by clicking the create user button. This will open a dialog where you can enter the user's details. Note that the email address you assign to the user will be used as the login name. The user will be sent an email with a default password to log in with. On first login, they will be required to accept Slide's terms of service and set a new password.

The role you select defines what permissions the user has in the account. See the tables below for a description of each role and the permissions it grants.

Edit a user

You can manage a user by clicking on the user's row in the Users table. This will open the sidebar where you can see and edit the user's details, including their role. Note that since a user's email address is used as their login name, they will need to use the new email address for all future logins.
