Team management

Users and Permissions Overview

The Users page is where you manage who can sign in to your Qoblex organization and exactly what each person can see and do. Every team member appears as a card, and each user carries their own set of permissions across the Qoblex sections.

This article gives you an orientation to the page: who can open it, what the user cards show, how invitations work, and how permissions are organized. After reading it you will know what each part of the page does and which task article to follow for creating, updating, inviting, or removing a user.


Who can open the Users page

The Users page is itself permission-controlled. The toolbar, with the search box, the Invite Partner button, and the Create User button, only appears for users who hold the View Users & Access Management permission. A user without that permission does not see these controls and cannot reach the page through the normal menu.

Grant this permission only to people you trust to manage team access, because a user who can manage users can also grant access to others.


The Users toolbar

When you have access, the page header shows:

  • A Search user by name, email box to filter the user cards.
  • An Invite Partner button, which opens a dialog to invite an external partner by email address.
  • A Create User button, which opens the create-user panel.

See Create and invite a user and Invite a partner for the full steps.


User cards

Each team member appears as a card showing:

  • Avatar initials drawn from the user’s name.
  • The user’s name and email.
  • A verification badge next to the name. The badge tooltip reads This user email is already verified. when the email is verified, or Email is not verified yet ! when it is not.
  • A You ribbon on your own card, so you can identify yourself at a glance.
  • A This user has not joined yet label on users who were created but have not yet accepted their invitation.

Click any card to open the Update User panel, where you can change the user’s details and permissions. See Update a user.


Invitations

Creating a user does two things in one step: it creates the user record and then sends them an invitation email. Both inviting a new user and inviting a partner require you to complete a verification challenge (the on-screen security check) before the invitation is sent.

If a user has not joined yet, you can resend their invitation from the Update User panel using the Reinvite User button.


Editable user details

The Update User panel opens with the user’s name and email above three tabs (Permissions, Security, and Preferences) and lands on Permissions by default. The first box (placeholder User Name) can be edited and saved. The second box (placeholder User Email) is greyed out: you cannot edit an existing user’s email directly. Point at Change your email, next to it, for an explanation rather than a form: to change this email, add a new user with the new email, log out, accept the invitation sent to the new email, join the organization, then delete the old user.

Timezone and Prefered Language (note the product’s spelling) live on the Preferences tab, not in the top section.

The Security tab holds two separate actions that do not behave the same way. Reset Password leaves Qoblex for the same public Forgot password page reachable from the sign-in screen, where an email address is typed in by hand and a reset link is sent to whatever address that is. It does nothing to the profile you had open, and it does not pre-fill the teammate’s address for you. Because of that, an administrator can start a teammate’s password reset from here by opening the teammate’s card and then typing the teammate’s own email into that page. Enable 2FA, by contrast, always enrols the account you are signed in as: opening it from a teammate’s card still sets up two-factor authentication on your own login, never theirs. See Your Profile and Security for the full walkthrough of both tabs, and Update a user for the rest of this panel.


Permissions

Permissions decide what each user can view and manage. They are set in a permissions matrix: below the profile fields on the create-user panel, and on the Permissions tab (the update-user panel’s default tab), grouped by Qoblex section (Dashboard, Inventory, Stock Control, Sales, Contacts, Reporting, Integrations, Users & Access Management, Account Settings, and more).

Each group expands to show the actions you can grant, each one labelled for exactly what it covers, such as View Purchase Orders or Approve Purchase Orders. Most sections offer only a View action; a few offer more: the Purchase Orders group also includes Approve Purchase Orders; Adjustments also includes Reconcile Adjustments and Authorize Adjustments; Sale Orders also includes Edit Sale Orders; and Account Settings also includes Reset Account, which lets its holder wipe and re-provision the organization’s Qoblex account, so grant it as carefully as you would grant the account owner role itself. The matrix gives you:

  • A Select all permissions checkbox to grant or clear everything at once.
  • An Expand all / Collapse all toggle to open or close every group.
  • A per-group checkbox to grant or clear a whole section, with a summary (Full access, Partial access, or No access) and an active/total count beside each group.

For the full walkthrough, see Set a user’s permissions.

Grant permissions based on the person’s job. Find the specific section they need rather than granting broad access to solve one missing menu item.


Removing a user

To remove someone from the organization, open their card and use Delete in the Update User panel. You cannot delete your own signed-in user. Use a permission change instead of deletion when the person should keep their account but lose access to one area. See Delete a user.


Troubleshooting

A user cannot see a section or menu item
Open their card and check the permissions matrix. A section is only visible to a user who holds that section’s View permission. Grant the matching permission group, then save.
A new user cannot sign in
Check their card for the This user has not joined yet label. A pending user must accept the invitation email before they can sign in. Open their card and use Reinvite User to send the invitation again.
The invitation went to the wrong email
You cannot change an existing user’s email directly. Create or invite the correct email address, have that person join, then delete the user with the wrong email.
The Delete button is missing
You cannot delete your own signed-in user, so the Delete button does not appear on your own card. Sign in as another user with access to the Users page to remove the account.
I do not see the Users toolbar at all
The Users page requires the View Users & Access Management permission. Ask an administrator who has it to grant you that permission, or to make the change for you.
