How to Add and Manage Users in Your Workspace
To add and manage users, you invite each person by email, choose their seat type, and assign a role. The role is what determines what they can actually see and do.
Why seat and role decisions matter early
Access set up casually at the start becomes difficult to unwind once dozens of people depend on it.
- Everyone given building rights, so processes get changed accidentally
- Roles created per person instead of per function
- No visibility of how many seats remain
- Inactive users still occupying capacity
Seat types and what they mean
- Member — uses the processes, which is the recommended default for most of the team
- Builder — configures and changes how processes work
- Roles — layered on top, defining access rules and permissions per function
- Super root — access to everything; ideally one or two people in the whole company
How to configure it in Jestor
- Open the users area in Jestor from the main screen.
- Review the list of active users and the seats still available.
- Click to add a user, entering their email address.
- Set the seat type to member — the team should use processes rather than rebuild them.
- Assign a role, which carries the access rules and permissions for their function.
Why choose Jestor for team access?
Jestor separates seats from roles, so the question of whether someone builds is answered independently of what data they can reach.
Roles show how many users occupy each one, which makes it easy to spot a role created for one person that should probably be merged into a broader function.
