Manage User Access and Permissions

Where to Find User Management Settings

User management in Prism is handled through two main areas:

  • Organization Settings: For organization-wide user management
  • Brand Settings: For brand-specific user management

You'll find both options in the Control Center at the bottom of the left panel. Remember, only Organization Admins can access Organization Settings, while Brand Admins can access Brand Settings for their specific brands.

Managing Users at the Organization Level

Viewing and Managing Current Users

When you open Organization Settings and go to the Users section, you'll see three tabs:

  1. Current Users: Shows all active users
  2. Invited Users: Displays pending invitations
  3. Access Requests: Lists users requesting to join

The Current Users list shows you:

  • User names and email addresses
  • Organization roles
  • Who granted their access
  • When they joined
  • Which brands they can access

You can easily search for users by name or email and filter by organization role to find exactly who you're looking for.

Note:If an invited user already has a Prism account, they will automatically appear in the Current Users list.

Assigning User Roles

When assigning roles in Prism, you're defining what users can do within the platform. Let's explore how to assign roles through different methods:

Through Initial Invitation When inviting a new user, you'll choose their initial role:

For Organization-Level Invites:

  1. Click "Invite Users" in Organization Settings
  2. Enter the user's email
  3. Choose their Organization role:
    • If selecting "Admin", they automatically get admin access to all brands
    • If selecting "Member", you'll need to:
      • Choose which brands they can access
      • Select one role (Admin, Publisher, or Viewer) for those brands

For Brand-Level Invites:

  1. Click "Invite Users" in Brand Settings
  2. Enter the user's email
  3. Select their role for that brand (Admin, Publisher, or Viewer)

Via Access Request Approval When approving an access request:

  1. Go to the Access Requests tab
  2. Find the pending request
  3. Click "Assign Role"
  4. Select their brand role from the dropdown
  5. For Organization Members, specify which brands they can access
  6. Confirm the role assignment

Via User Management For existing users, you can assign or change roles using any of these three methods:

  1. Direct from user list:
    • Find the user
    • Use the role dropdown next to their name
    • Select their new role
    • Confirm the change
  2. Through user profile:
    • Click the user's name to open their profile
    • Use the role dropdown in their profile
    • Make the role changes
    • For Organization Admin upgrades, type "admin" to confirm
  3. Through Brand Settings:
    • Navigate to Brand Settings > Users
    • Find the user
    • Use the role dropdown
    • Select their new brand-level role

Please note: Organization Admin role assignments require extra confirmation by typing "admin" in the verification field, as this grants significant permissions across the platform.

Changing User Roles

There are three main ways to change user roles in Prism:

Via the User List:

  • Find them in the user list
  • Use the role dropdown menu next to their name
  • Select their new role
  • Confirm the change

Via User Profile:

  • Find them in the user list
  • Click on their name to open their profile
  • Use the role dropdown in their profile to make changes
  • If changing to Organization Admin, you'll need to type "admin" to confirm
  • If changing to Organization Member, you can specify brand access and roles

Via Brand Settings (for brand-level roles only):

  • Navigate to Brand Settings
  • Go to the Users section
  • Use the role dropdown next to the user's name
  • Select their new role (Admin, Publisher, or Viewer)
  • Note: This only changes their role for that specific brand

When upgrading someone to Organization Admin:

  • You'll need to type "admin" to confirm this powerful change
  • They'll automatically get admin access to all brands

When changing someone to Organization Member:

  • You can specify which brands they should access

Managing Multiple Users at Once

The bulk edit feature have many advantages as well as specific limitations:

  • When downgrading to Organization Member:
    • Can set brand access for all selected users
    • Can assign roles for the brands they'll have access to
    • Can remove access to specific brands

For Brand Admins:

  • Can remove multiple users from their brand at once
