Manage users and teams settings

Administrators can view all users and teams created in the Space and further manage some user settings and information via the Space settings page.

Manage user settings

To access user settings: 

  1. Go to Space Settings.
  2. Select User in the User Settings section (left-hand panel).

On the list of users page, the administrator can: 

  • View user’s details, search users, or filter users by role or by team
  • Invite new users to the organization by clicking Add User.
  • Manage user roles and teams on the Organization Settings page by clicking Manage Users on Nulab Apps (*applicable to New plan only).

User settings that are managed in Space settings are associated with Backlog such as user restriction, email reports, and project access. Whereas user settings that are managed in Organization Settings, such as user roles and teams, are associated with your organization and is applied across all Nulab cloud products.
