How to invite and manage Backlog members

Only organization admins can invite and manage members, assign them a role (guest, member, or admin), and place them on teams. Designated members can also invite new members. 

In this guide, we’ll show you how to:

  • Invite members
  • Create teams
  • Manage member restrictions

Invite members

To invite members:

  • Select your organization icon in the global navigation.
  • Select “Organization settings.”
  • Select the “Members” tab at the top.

From there, you can invite members via email or link, assign them an admin, member, or guest role, and grant them invite and plan admin privileges. Learn more about inviting members to your organization.

Create teams

Teams allow admins to manage multiple members simultaneously. To create a new team in your organization:

  • Select your organization icon in the global navigation.
  • Select “Organization settings.”
  • Select the “Members” tab at the top.
  • Select “Create team” in the panel on the left.
  • Add your team name, and press “Enter.”

In addition to assigning roles and privileges, you can restrict a member’s Backlog access within your space settings. 

  • Select your profile icon in the global navigation.
  • Select “Space settings.”
  • Select “User” from the menu on the left.
  • Select the member.
  • Select “No restrictions,” “Add issue only,” or “View issue” under “Restrictions.”
