User management

Manage site users in TaskFord by inviting members, assigning roles, and controlling access all from one central page

It allows admins to invite new members, view user details, monitor account status, and manage each user’s account type, role, and access permissions to help maintain site security and organization.

Access the User management tab

  1. Navigate to the Site settings page
  2. Select the User management tab from the left-hand menu.

Understand the User Directory

The User Directory table gives administrators a quick overview of all users who have access to the site. The table includes the following columns:

  • Name: Displays the user’s profile name and avatar.
  • Email: Shows the email address used for login, notifications, and invitations.
  • Account Type: Indicates the user’s site-level account classification, such as Site Owner, Site Admin, Billing Manager, or Regular Member.
  • Role: Shows the user’s assigned role, such as Admin, Editor, or Viewer. Roles determine what actions the user can perform in the site.
  • Status: Shows the user’s current account state: Active / Inactive / Pending invitation / Waiting for approval / Owner Rejected
  • Joined: Shows the date the user joined or was added to the site.
  • Actions: Opens a menu where admins can manage the user, such as updating roles, changing account type, deactivating the account, or removing access.
