Members

In order to allow a user to participate in a design, the user has to be either a design member or a design admin in the respective design.

Let’s grant design admin permission for our example user “John Doe” into the root design “Company Inc.” with the design creator User123.

1. Navigate into a design by clicking its name.

2. Click Members.

3. Click the add design admins button.

4. Select the user(s) that should be granted design admin permissions for the design.

John Doe is now design admin to the root design “Company Inc.”.

We are now logged in with the user John Doe.

John Doe has a colleague Jane Doe who he collaborates with. Let’s add Jane Doe as a design member to the root design “Company Inc.” so she can participate in that design.

1. Click Create design team.

2. Type a name for the design team.

3. Select members for the design team. In this example Jane Doe is the only user available, as Tietosuojavastaava and John Doe are already design admins in this design.

Now Jane Doe has access to the design “Company Inc.” as a design member. She can edit the design content but cannot give access to additional members in the design.

Now that we have created a design team into the root design “Company Inc.”, let’s create a sub-design for it while inheriting the parent design members.

1. Navigate back to Dashboard → Designs.

2. Click + Create design.

3. Select the parent design.

4. Fill in the design details.

5. Enable the checkbox for inheriting members from the parent design (enabled by default).

Create design modal with the parent design selected and 'I want the same permissions for this design as the parent design has' checked

6. Click Create.

As the parent design and member inheritance were selected, the design admins and teams were inherited from the parent design “Company Inc.”.
