Manage who has access to your Signkit organization and what they can do. This guide covers inviting members, assigning roles, and controlling permissions.

Accessing Team Management

  1. Click Settings in the sidebar

User Roles

Signkit has three role levels:

Owner

The organization owner has full control:

  • All admin permissions
  • Can delete the organization
  • Can transfer ownership
  • Can promote members to admin
  • Can demote admins to members
  • Only one owner per organization

The owner is typically whoever created the organization. Ownership can be transferred but not shared.

Admin

Admins can manage most aspects:

  • Create and edit templates
  • Create and manage all signatures
  • Create campaigns and groups
  • View analytics
  • Access organization settings
  • Invite new members (as members only)

Admins cannot:

  • Delete the organization
  • Transfer ownership
  • Change other admins' roles
  • Promote members to admin

Member

Members can work with content:

  • Create and edit templates
  • Create and edit signatures
  • Create campaigns and groups
  • View analytics

Members cannot:

  • Access organization settings
  • Invite other members
  • Manage existing members
  • Change roles

Inviting Team Members

Step 1: Open Invite Dialog

  1. Go to Settings > Members
  2. Click Invite Member

Step 2: Enter Details

  • Email Address: Their work email
  • Role: Select Admin or Member

Only the organization owner can invite admins. Admins can only invite members.

Step 3: Send Invitation

Click Send Invitation. The invitee receives an email with a link to join.

What Happens Next

  1. Invitee receives email
  2. They click the invitation link
  3. They create an account (or sign in if they have one)
  4. They're added to your organization

Managing Pending Invitations

View Pending Invitations

At the top of the Members page, you'll see:

  • List of pending invitations
  • Email addresses invited
  • When each invitation was sent

Resend an Invitation

If someone didn't receive the email:

  1. Find the invitation in the pending list
  2. Click Resend
  3. A new email is sent

Revoke an Invitation

To cancel an invitation before it's accepted:

  1. Find the invitation
  2. Click Revoke
  3. The invitation link becomes invalid

Managing Existing Members

View All Members

The Members page shows:

  • All current members
  • Their roles
  • Their email addresses
  • When they joined

Change a Member's Role

If you're the owner:

  1. Find the member in the list
  2. Click their role dropdown
  3. Select the new role (Admin or Member)
  4. Confirm the change

If you're an admin: You cannot change other members' roles.

Remove a Member

  1. Find the member
  2. Click the remove option
  3. Confirm removal

Removing a member revokes their access immediately. Their signatures remain in your organization.

Role Comparison

| Capability | Owner | Admin | Member | |------------|-------|-------|--------| | Create templates | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Edit any template | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Create signatures | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Edit any signature | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Create campaigns | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Create groups | Yes | Yes | Yes | | View analytics | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Access settings | Yes | Yes | No | | Invite members | Yes | Yes (members only) | No | | Change roles | Yes | No | No | | Remove members | Yes | Yes (members only) | No | | Delete organization | Yes | No | No |

Offboarding Members

When someone leaves your organization:

Step 1: Remove Access

  1. Go to Settings > Members
  2. Remove the person from the organization
  3. Their access is revoked immediately

Step 2: Handle Their Signatures

Options:

  • Delete: If no longer needed
  • Reassign: Update the signature with new owner details
  • Deactivate: Keep but mark as inactive

Step 3: Review Groups

Remove the departed member's signatures from groups as appropriate.

Best Practices

Role Assignment

  • Owner: Should be a senior person responsible for the tool
  • Admins: IT admins, marketing leads, or designated managers
  • Members: Most team members who just need to create content

Limit Admin Access

Keep the admin list small:

  • Reduces risk of accidental changes
  • Maintains clear accountability
  • Members can do most day-to-day tasks

Regular Audits

Monthly or quarterly:

  1. Review member list
  2. Remove departed employees
  3. Verify roles are still appropriate
  4. Revoke unused invitations

Document Access

Keep a record of:

  • Who has access
  • Their roles
  • When they were added
  • Justification for admin access

Troubleshooting

Invitation Not Received

  1. Check spam/junk folders
  2. Verify the email address is correct
  3. Ask IT if email filtering is blocking it
  4. Try resending the invitation
  5. Whitelist noreply@signkit.io

"Already a Member" Error

The email is already associated with your organization:

  1. Check your member list
  2. They may already have access
  3. Check for duplicate accounts

Can't Change Role

Verify your permissions:

  • Only owners can change roles to/from admin
  • Admins cannot change other users' roles

Member Can't Access Features

Check their role:

  1. Go to Settings > Members
  2. Find their entry
  3. Verify they have the appropriate role
  4. Members cannot access settings

Security Recommendations

Use Work Emails Only

  • Avoid personal email addresses
  • Easier to manage when people leave
  • More professional appearance

Regular Access Reviews

  • Audit quarterly at minimum
  • Remove inactive users
  • Downgrade unnecessary admin access

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

  • Protect all accounts
  • Required for admins especially
  • Configure in account settings
