Adding Members to a Team

This guide explains how to add new and existing users to a team in Viz Flowics, granting them access to assigned projects and defining their roles.

Adding a member to a team in Viz Flowics grants them access to all projects assigned to that team. Their role determines what they can do within those projects.


Before you start

  • Only Company Admins and Managers can add members to a team

  • Check whether the user already has a Viz Flowics account before starting — the process is slightly different for new vs existing users


Adding Users to a Team

Step 1 — Open team settings

  1. Go to Settings in the top navigation bar

  2. Click Teams

Step 2 — Add the member

If the user already has a Viz Flowics account

  1. Click on the team you want to add the new user to

  2. Select the team you want to add members to

  3. Use the search bar to find them by email address

  4. Select them from the list

  5. Assign a role

  6. Save

If the user is new to Viz Flowics

  1. Click Add user

  2. Use the search and type the name or email address

  3. Click on Add new member

  4. Fill in the following details:

    • First Name & Last Name

    • Email Address (this will be their login username)

    • Role

    • Team Access

  5. Confirm and save. The user will receive an invitation email to activate their account

Note: Invitation emails may land in the spam or junk folder. Ask the new user to check there if they don't receive it within a few minutes.


Roles and access

When adding a member, you must assign a role. Their permissions within those projects are determined by their assigned role.

Role

Description

Company Admin

Full access: manages users, teams, billing, and all projects across the organization

Manager

Moderator

Can only see and execute actions inside the Moderation Console

What happens after adding a member

⚠️ Important: Team membership grants access to all projects assigned to that team. If a user should only access a subset of projects, create a separate team and assign only those specific projects to it.

  • The user gains access to all projects assigned to that team automatically

  • Their permissions within those projects are determined by their assigned role

  • If you need to give a user access to specific projects only, create a dedicated team for those projects and add the user there


Common issues

I don't see the + Add Member button: You may not have Manager or Company Admin permissions. Contact your administrator.

The user didn't receive their invitation email: Ask them to check their spam or junk folder. If it's not there, go back to Settings → Teams, find the user, and resend the invitation.

I added the user, but they can't see any projects: Make sure the team has projects assigned to it. Users inherit access from the team — if the team has no projects, the user won't see any.
