How to Add and Manage Users


Incorporating Teamwork into Your Workflow



Introduction


Teamwork is an essential component for any successful business. It enables collaboration within a group, leading to the discovery of innovative solutions and efficient work processes. In the realm of social media management, effective teamwork is crucial for overcoming the challenges of managing multiple platforms and streamlining your workload. In this guide, we will explore how you can manage your team within your Eclincher account.



Adding and Managing Users


To add and manage users in your Eclincher account, follow these steps:


  1. Access the User Settings section.


User Settings


Note: User management is available for PREMIER and ADVANCED legacy plans, as well as PROFESSIONAL and ENTERPRISE plans. Only the Main Admin has the necessary permissions.


  1. To add a user, click on the Add New User button.


Add New User

Internal Users


Internal users have their own login credentials and can perform various tasks based on the permissions granted by the Main Admin. For internal users, fill in the required information, including:


  • Username
  • Email
  • Password


  • Assign at least one profile/brand to the user and select the appropriate permissions.


Note: In Premier accounts, the Main Admin can assign social media profiles to each user. This also applies to Standard accounts, which allow up to 2 users, if a second user has been added. In Advanced, Professional, and Enterprise accounts, the Main Admin can assign brands to users.


Assign profile(s) or brand(s) to user


  • The Main Admin can also grant additional permissions to internal users, such as access to the Inbox, user management, and billing settings.

External Users


External or Client users have dedicated links to access pending posts for approval. This feature is ideal for clients who can review and interact with posts in a customized, white-label page. With the necessary permissions, external users can add their social media profiles to the Eclincher account.


For external users, provide the required information, including:


  • Username
  • Email
  • Password (optional)
  • Assign at least one profile/brand to the user and select the appropriate permissions.


While in Table view (default), click the box-with-arrow icon to open the external user’s page in a new browser tab. In Tile view, click View URL or Copy URL.


You can share this link with the client for post approval, rejection, comments, or editing (if enabled). If the Main Admin allows it, external users can also:

  • Add social media profiles from the Account Management tab.
  • View the account’s or assigned brand’s Analytics Dashboard under the Analytics tab.
  • Access the Visual Calendar for the account or assigned brand.
  • And more, depending on their permissions.

Editing a User's Email Address


The user's email address cannot be edited directly. To change a user's email address, the user has to be deleted and then add them back with the new email. Note that deleting a user does not delete any associated posts.


This process also applies when moving a user with the same email address from the internal to the external list or vice versa.



User Notification Settings


As the Main Admin, you can manage the notification settings for your internal users. This feature allows you to customize the notifications they receive. Learn more about Notification Settings in the platform by clicking here.
