Managing Team Members
Change a role
From Settings > Team Members, click on a team member to view their profile. Change their role from the dropdown. Changes take effect immediately — the next time they load any page, the new permissions apply.
Deactivate a team member
To remove access without deleting the user record (preserving their time tracking and audit history), use the Deactivate option. Deactivated users cannot log in but their data remains intact.
Resend invitation
If a team member's invitation has expired, you can resend it from the team members list. Click the menu icon next to the pending invitation and select Resend.
Subscription Impact
Each active team member counts towards your subscription's user limit. Your current plan's user allowance is visible in Settings > Subscription.
If you need additional users beyond your plan's limit, you can:
- Upgrade to a higher subscription plan, or
- Purchase a User Consumption Pack for additional seats
Security Best Practices
- Use the principle of least privilege — assign the Bookkeeper role for junior staff who only need task and time tracking access.
- Limit Owner access — only practice principals should have the Owner role, as it grants access to billing, settings, and team management.
- Deactivate promptly — when a team member leaves your firm, deactivate their account immediately.
- Enable MFA — encourage all team members to enable multi-factor authentication from their profile settings.
