Invite users to your workspace

New users can be invited by navigating to Settings > Users.

Workspace admins can invite at any role level, while non-admin users can only invite others at a role level equal, or less than their own.

Users can be invited individually via email by clicking Invite users. After sending the invite, the users will receive an invite link via email along with steps to join the workspace.

Workspace admins also have the option to enable automatic account creation, which will allow anyone with an approved email to join your workspace when they create a Dovetail account.

  • To enable automatic account creation, navigate to Settings > Authentication.


Remove users from your workspace

Workspace admins have two options available if they need to remove a user from the workspace:

  • Deactivate user → If a user is deactivated, they will no longer have access to the workspace, but their account will still exist in case you wish to reactivate them later. Additionally, deactivated users will continue to appear as authors on their contributions.

  • Delete user → If a user is deleted, their account will be completely removed and cannot be added back. Their contributions will remain in the workspace, but they will be removed as author.


User roles in Dovetail

In Dovetail there are three roles that can be assigned to users in your workspace. These are ViewerContributor, and Manager.

Grant admin access to users

Admin access will allow a user to:

  • Manage billing

  • Deactivate and remove users

  • Manage workspace branding

  • Manage authentication options
