Frequently Asked Questions

Can I resend an invitation to a user?

Yes, you can resend an invitation by navigating to the 'Members' section and selecting the option to resend the invitation next to the user's email.

What happens when I deactivate a user?

Deactivating a user will restrict their access to the workspace and all its projects. However, their historical data and actions will remain intact. A deactivated user can be reactivated by navigating to the 'Members' section and selecting 'Reactivate' next to the user's name.

What's the difference between deactivating and removing a user?

Deactivating a user restricts their access but retains their data. Removing a user permanently deletes them from the workspace, and they would need a new invitation to rejoin.

Can a user change their own role?

No, only Account Owners and Administrators have the ability to change user roles.

Can I change the account owner myself?

No, the ability to switch account owners is restricted to Userback staff as a security measure. This ensures that only the designated account owner can perform critical actions on the account.

What does "Internal Comments Only" mean?

Setting a user to "Internal Comments Only" restricts them from viewing and making comments that are internal to the team, enhancing project security.
