Note: If you get a failed request at this point, double check that the user doesn't already exist (CTRL-F/CMD-F). If you don't find them, use the messenger app in the bottom left corner to send a note to our Customer Success Managers for assistance.


Updating user accounts

You can change role, email address or name - just change it and select the ✔ to save.

Resetting a Password

An administrator can reset a user's password via account management. This will delete their old passworkd and generate a new onboarding link that you can send to the user. This new onboarding link will only be valid for 1 week, so you may need to re-generate it if the user doesn't utilize it within that period.

Follow the below steps to reset a password via GUI.

  1. Navigate to Account Management, and select the user

  2. Utilize the ellipsis/triple dot icon to access the more options menu, and the reset password option

  4. Send that link on to the user requesting the password reset with a reminder its only good for a week.


Deleting user accounts

This one is simple, click on the triple dots for more options and select the delete user.

Note: Any dashboards that belonged to that user will show a message that the owner can no longer be found. If that user had a private dashboard that is not shared with any user groups, it will be lost.
