Manage Users
On this page, you'll learn how to invite and manage users.
Inviting users
Starting on the Starter plan, you can invite users to your repository. To invite a new user, go to Settings > Users. In the input field, type in the new user’s email address and click “send.”
The new user will receive an email notification and if they don’t already have a Prismic account, an invitation to sign up.
The new user will appear as Pending until they have accepted their invitation. A pending invitation is counted as one user in your plan.
You can cancel an invite by clicking Cancel in the pending invitations list.
User roles
In Basic plans, all users have the role of Administrator.
In Professional plans, there are three user roles available: Writer, Publisher, and Administrator.
Once a user has accepted an invite, you can set their role. All new users have the role of Writer by default.
User roles facilitate a collaborative workflow. Here are the rights and abilities of the different roles:
| Writer |
|
| Publisher | Everything a Writer can do, plus: - Review and publish drafts and edits - Schedule publications |
| Administrator | Everything a Publisher can do, plus: - Edit repository settings - Create and edit custom types - Manage roles per locale |
Repository Owner There is only one Repository Owner | Everything an Administrator can do, plus: - Access and edit billing information |
These user roles are designed to allow Writers to create content and Publishers to review and publish content.
Transferring ownership
Paid plans
In Settings > User, there is a section for transferring ownership of your repository to another user.
Select the user you want to transfer ownership to, and click Transfer ownership.
Free plans
Free plans can only have one user, so this feature works differently.
In Settings > Users, scroll to Transfer ownership. Type in the email address of the new owner, and then click Transfer ownership.
The ownership will transfer when the new owner accepts the ownership. Until that point, you can cancel the transfer by clicking Cancel.
