How to create and invite members/guests

Updated over a month ago

To invite a user to a workspace this must be done through the MindStaq web application. There will be two options to choose from, members and guests.

  1. Members: are those who do not have a MindStaq account and fall under your workspace domain. They will be able to access messages and files in any public channel and access the full directory.

  2. Guests: are those that have an existing MindStaq account but are in a different organization / workspace. They will only be able to see a partial directory and will only be able to access messages and files from selected channels.

Creating Users via Add Member

  1. Navigate to Members Tab:
    On the sidebar, click on the “Members” tab within the Admin panel to manage your organization’s users.

  2. Select Add Member:
    Click the ‘Add Member’ button. A pop-up window will appear, as shown below:

  1. Fill Member Details:

    • First Name / Last Name: Enter the user’s details.

    • Member Role Dropdown: Choose between Admin or Member based on required access.

    • App Role: Select PMO (Project Management Office) or None as appropriate.

    • Email Field: The domain suffix (e.g., @mindstaq.local) is auto-filled after domain setup, ensuring only organization members can be added.

  2. Add Member:
    Click the ‘Add Member’ button to create the account.

  3. Login Instructions:
    The new user (e.g., John William) will receive a company email and a temporary password, enabling them to log into MindStaq securely.

Inviting Members or Guests

  1. Click Invite Members/Guests:
    Use the ‘Invite Members/Guests’ button from the Members tab.

  2. Choose Invite Type in the Pop-up:
    The pop-up offers two options:

Inviting Members

  • Purpose: For quickly adding multiple organization users who’ll become members upon accepting the invite.

  • Steps:

    • Enter one or more email addresses of users to invite.

    • Optionally, customize the invitation message.

    • Click ‘Send Request’—users receive an email invitation and can join MindStaq as members.

    • Manage invitations in the “Invitation” section; you can delete pending requests if needed.

Inviting Guests

  • Purpose: For collaborating with external users (such as partners from other companies).

  • Steps:

    • Select the ‘Guests’ option.

    • Enter the guest’s email address and customize invite if needed.

    • Guests receive an invite, gaining restricted access to specific channels/files.


Additional Tips

  • Ensure role and app role are set correctly for each user to maintain data privacy and workflow access.

  • Use member invites for onboarding quickly and guest invites for limited, project-specific collaboration.

  • You can always manage, edit, or deactivate users and invitations before they are accepted from the Admin panel.
