Managing Users
User management lets administrators add new team members, control access levels, and manage user status across the organization.
Navigate to: Settings > Users
Admin only: This section requires administrator permissions.
Viewing All Users
The Users page shows a list of all users in your organization with their:
- Name and email
- Role
- Teams
- Account status (Active / Inactive)
- Last login date
Inviting a New User
- Go to Settings > Users.
- Click + Invite User (or Add).
- Fill in:
- Email Address — The user's email (the invitation will be sent here)
- Role — Select the role that defines their permissions
- Teams — (Optional) Add them to one or more teams
- Click Send Invitation.
The user receives an email invitation with a link to set up their account. See How to Register for what the user sees.
Managing Pending Invitations
To view and manage invitations that haven't been accepted yet:
- Go to Settings > Users > Invitations (or the Invitations tab).
- You will see all pending invitations with:
- The email address

- Expiry status
To resend an invitation:

Activating and Deactivating Users
To deactivate a user (e.g., when someone leaves):
- Open the user's record.
- Toggle their status to Inactive.
- Save.
Inactive users cannot log in but their data and history remain in the system.
To reactivate a user:
- Find them in the Users list (filter by Inactive status).
- Toggle their status to Active.
- Save.
Deleting a User
Warning: Deleting a user is permanent and cannot be easily undone. Consider deactivating instead.
- Open the user's record.
- Click Delete and confirm.
Before deleting, reassign any active deals, leads, or tasks from that user to another team member to avoid orphaned records.
User Seat Types
Users in SalesKey may be assigned to specific feature seats:
- Leads — Access to the Leads module
- Deals — Access to the Deals module
- Projects — Access to the Projects module
- Timesheets — Access to the Timesheets module
Seat assignments depend on what your organization has purchased. Go to Settings > Subscription to manage seats.
Tips for User Management
- Assign roles carefully — The right role from day one prevents unnecessary permission issues.
- Add users to teams — Team membership affects data visibility for records shared at the team level.
- Deactivate rather than delete — Deactivation preserves history and can be reversed.
- Review users periodically — Remove or deactivate accounts for people who have left your organization.
