How to manage member and team settings in Backlog

Within your Backlog space, admins can manage Backlog-specific member and team settings. All other settings are managed through your organization.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to:

• Manage members
• Manage teams

Manage members

To access member settings, select your profile icon in the global navigation > Space settings > User settings > User. There, you can invite new members and view, search, and filter members.

As an admin, you can also select any member and manage the following settings:

• Restrictions: Limit members so they can only view or add issues. Admins can’t be restricted.
• Emails: Ensure members get Backlog reports and notifications. This overrides members’ personal settings.
• Shortcut keys: Allow members to use shortcut keys.
• Assign projects: Add or remove members from projects. Select the “Check all projects” box to add a member to all projects.

For teams on a Backlog legacy plan, admins can also manage additional, individual user settings including:

• User ID: Name used for @ mentions.
• Nickname: Name in Backlog.
• Email
• Password: Notify the user if their password is changed.
• Icon: Choose from default icons or upload an image.
• Role: Allow more or fewer privileges.
• Mail encoding: Applies to emails sent from Backlog.
• Language and time zone
• Teams: Add or remove the user from a team.

Manage teams

To access team settings, select your profile icon in the global navigation > Space settings > User settings > Team. Within your space settings, you can view all existing teams. Select “Manage teams” at the top of the page to create a new team, or select a team name in the list to make changes.
