Managing the Team

In UXPin, you can invite your team to collaborate with you on one or many prototypes. Their permissions depend on their role in the project – they can either edit the prototype, leave comments, add new users, create new projects, etc.

Note

User roles are available on Professional, Company and Enterprise plans.

User Roles

There are six user roles in UXPin. Your User Management is the place where you can add new users and assign their roles, add them to multiple projects, change their roles, as well as remove users from your account. To access your User Management, click Manage your team on top of your Dashboard.

RoleDescription

Owner

The person in charge of the entire UXPin account — can create new projects, add new users, set permissions, and delete the account.

Admin

With the same permissions as the Owner, except for deleting an account.

Manager

Sees all projects, can create new ones and add account users to them, but can't invite new users to the account or delete the account.

Creator

This role is limited to working within selected projects and creating new ones, as well as adding account users to a project.

Collaborator

A stakeholder in a project who can comment and edit a prototype in the Editor.

Developer

Developers have access to the Dashboard, but don't have permissions to edit prototypes.

These roles allow everyone to contribute in ways relevant to their job on the project. Managers need to oversee things, so they can see every project. Creators who don't control projects, can only access prototypes in their projects. Collaborators, such as clients, can share their valuable feedback on the project.

UXPin dashboard

You can change the role of any user by means of the role dropdown menu and the change is immediate.

Inviting and Managing Users

To add a user in your User Management, click Add new users and enter the user's email address. Next, define their role and confirm with Add.

You can also click “add multiple users at once” to invite more users at the same time. All invited users will receive email invitations.

Inviting to multiple projects

In the User Management, your users are grouped by their roles, i.e. collaborators, creators, etc. To add a user to another project, click on the user role group (i.e. collaborators) and find the user by their email. Under Project Access, click on the number of projects they are assigned to. Then, check the checkboxes for the projects you want this user to access. Click Save.

Removing Users

To remove someone from the project, go to the User Management, click on the three-dot icon to the far right of the user's email and choose remove user. This is also where you can resend invitations. In case someone doesn't receive the invitation you sent them, click resend the invitation.

Collaboration

If you have invited other people to collaborate on a project with you, you can see who is currently working with you on your design. If a team member is editing the same page as you are, you will see their avatars with their names or emails in the Top bar.

If another user is editing an element, there will be a frame with their name around that element. If they are on a different page, you will see a green avatar next to that page in the sitemap. You can't select and edit an element when it's being edited by someone else. Also, you can't delete pages that are being edited by other users.
