Management Team

The Management Team page can be used to define the site management team (users with the Owner, Admin, or Moderator role). To reach this page, click the Management Team link in the left menu bar in the interface for a particular site configuration. The current team is listed with their avatar, name, and email address. The possible roles are:
  • Moderator - This type of user has rights to moderate comment posts (edit, approve, reject, or delete).
  • Admin - This type of user has rights to moderate comment posts and to configure site settings, versions, team members, and user roles. The site Owner also has all of these rights.
  • Owner (This role is automatically assigned when the site configuration is created) - This type of user has rights to moderate comment posts (edit, approve, reject, or delete), configure site settings, versions, team members, and user roles, as well as rights to delete or transfer the ownership of the site configuration.
Tip: See the User Roles Matrix Table for a comprehensive list of all the user roles and their permissions.
To add a new user to the management team, enter their email address in the Email field at the top of the page, assign a role with the drop-down menu, and click the Add button. A notification email will be sent to that email address informing them that their user role has been changed and that person will have approximately one day to accept it before it expires. In the meantime, their new role will be in a pending status until they accept the change request or it expires.
Note: An account with the email address must exist within the current organization. If they have not already done so, they will need to sign up before you can add them.

To change the role of any Moderator or Admin, select the new role from the drop-down menu to the right of their user name. A notification email will be sent to that user informing them that their user role has been changed.

Warning: Each organization's subscription has a limit for the number of Moderators that can be added to a site configuration. The number of allowed moderators per site configuration = site-level moderators + organization-level moderators + pending moderator invitations. This means that you cannot invite a new user with a role of Moderator or change a user's role to Moderator if the organization has already reached the limit.
To remove a user, click the button to the right of the drop-down menu. When a user is removed from the management team, they are assigned a role of Member.
Note: Users with a role of organization Owner, Admin, or Moderator are assigned an equivalent site role and they cannot be removed.
