If you're an Organisation Admin, you can add and manage users in your organisation directly from the Xapien platform.

This article walks you through where to find user management, how to invite new users, and how to manage existing ones.

ℹ️ Who can do this?

Only Organisation Admins can access user management. If you don't see the Users page described below, your role doesn't have permission to manage users - please speak to an Organisation Admin in your team.


Finding the Users page

Organisation Admins will see a dedicated Users page in the side navigation. This is your home for everything related to user management: viewing who's in your organisation, inviting new people, and updating roles.

On the Users page you can:

  • View everyone in your organisation

  • Search users by name or email

  • Filter users by role

  • See the status of pending invites

  • Invite new users

  • Change a user's role or remove them from the organisation


How to invite a new user

Option 1: From the Users page

  1. Go to the Users page in the side navigation

  2. Click Invite people

  3. Enter the new user's email address - their first and last name will auto-fill from the email, which you can edit if needed

  4. Select the role you'd like to assign - role descriptions appear inline to help you choose the right permission level

  5. Click Send invite

Option 2: From the sidebar "+" menu

  1. Click + in the sidebar (above your initials)

  2. Select Invite people

  3. Enter the email, confirm the name, and choose a role

  4. Click Send invite

The new user will receive an email invitation to register and set a password. Once they've completed registration, they'll appear in your Users page with their assigned role.

When inviting a user, you'll need to assign one of the following roles:

  • Organisation Admin - full access across all teamspaces, plus user management.

  • User - works within the teamspaces they're assigned to.

For more detail on what each role can do, see our article on teamspaces and role-based permissions.


Managing pending invites

Invites that haven't been accepted yet appear in the Users page with a Pending status. For each pending invite you can see:

  • The recipient's email

  • The date the invite was sent

  • The current status

From here you can resend the invite (for example, if the recipient can't find the original email) or revoke it if it was sent in error or is no longer needed.


Changing a user's role or removing a user

From the Users page, you can update existing users at any time:

  • Change role - update someone's permissions (for example, promoting a User to an Organisation Admin).

  • Remove user - remove someone from the organisation. They will no longer be able to access Xapien or any teamspaces they were part of.


My organisation uses SSO

If your organisation uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you will be unable to add new users. This is because users need to be provisioned through your automated SSO flow rather than through a standard user invite.

If you use SSO and need to add users, please contact Customer Success or customer support.
