Organization Members

Take me to the list of members from my organization.

Members

This table shows the list of members of the organization, as well as their roles, which give them different levels of permissions, and their team.

Role

Suspended

This is not a role per say, but rather the status of users that have joined your organization but currently do not have access to the ShapeDiver platform or any of the models of your organization.

The “Suspended” role is currently the best way to remove access to your Organization to a user, because there is no way to completely delete a user at the moment. It can also be used to temporarily suspend a user for security reasons or because new members need to join the organization (see section “Invitations”).

It is always possible to later switch the role of the member to one of the active roles below, in order to give them access again, provided that the number of seats included with your organization is not exceeded.

Consumer

Consumers are organization members with a minimal set of permissions. They can browse and interact with models within their team or, optionally, within the entire organization (if models' visibility is not limited per team).

Consumers cannot upload models to the platform.

User

Users of an organization can upload, edit and delete their own models. Depending on the organization settings defined above by Administrators and Owners, they can potentially change the visibility of their own models, share them with other users and create shareable links for their private models.

Users can also view all models inside their own team or, optionally, within the entire organization (if models' visibility is not limited per team).

Manager

Managers of an organization are granted all the permissions regular Users have. Additionally, they can view and edit all models within the organization, including private models by other members, or models outside of their own team. These models can be accessed in the “Organization” section of the Library, where managers are able to see private models on top of the models with organization visibility.

Administrator

Administrators are granted all the permissions that managers have. Additionally, they are able to update the organization settings defined in the previous section of this article. Administrators can also define embedding domains for all models in the organization. Finally, they can also invite new users and assign roles to all other users in the organization.

Owner

By default, this is the role assigned to the person who created the organization. Owners have the highest level of permissions in the organization. They are granted the same permissions that administrators have. Additionally, they have access to the account management portal where they can review the current subscription used in the organization, upgrade or downgrade it and purchase add-ons. Their email is linked with the billing system.

Team

Every use in the organization can be assigned to a specific team. You can specify any name in the “Team” column of the members table. If the team does not already exist, it will be added to the list of teams within the organization. Existing teams are suggested in a dropdown when assigning a member.

Teams can be used simply to organize members of your organization. Furthermore, they can be used in conjunction with model tags to restrict the visibility of models on a per-team basis. In order to do so, you have to first enable the “Limit visibility per team” setting.

Invitations

Only Administrators and Owners of an organization can invite new members. Contact them if you want to require access for yourself or someone else in your team.

Click on “Send invitation” to invite new users to your organization. The dialog lets you enter the email address of the person you want to invite to your organization.

Once an invitation is sent, the target user will be notified and can either accept or deny the invitation. If they do not already have a ShapeDiver account, they will receive instructions to create one first.

After an invitation is accepted, the new member will appear in the members list. By default, the invited user will have the “User” role, but this can be modified from the members table.

Organizations include a limited number of member seats. The invitation form is disabled if your organization has reached this limit.

You can invite new members by changing the role of existing users to “Suspended”. This frees up a space in the organization for a new member. Remember that there can not be more non-”Suspended” users at the same time as the limit of seats that comes with your account

Removing members from an organization

At the moment, it is not possible to completely remove members from organizations. However, if you switch the “Role” or a member to “Suspended”, they will lose access to the ShapeDiver platform and all the models and features associated with your organization.
