Add and manage users
Updated over 9 months ago

Users are individuals in your organization or team who have access to your TextUs account through their assigned roles and permissions. User management is limited to admins and org admins only. This means your account’s admin or org admin are the only users with permission to add, edit, or delete users in an account, as well as update a user’s account access or permissions.

Additionally, it’s important to note that admins are only able to manage users for accounts they have admin access to, while org admins can manage all users across your entire organization.

Tip: Users who have access to multiple messaging accounts will have the number of accounts displayed under the Memberships column on the Users page. You can hover over a row in the column to quickly view the names of the accounts that the user has access to.
