Here's an article explaining everything about user permissions, setting up roles, and the benefits of having users grouped in the teams.
Before we dive in, kindly note that number of User seats available differ between subscription plans:
Startup
users have 1 seat available by default, and can add more at $36/month per user seat or to upgrade to Business at any time.
Business
users have up to 5 User seats available and in case they would like to add more at $62/month per user seat or to upgrade to Enterprise.
Enterprise
users can have unlimited number of seats. Feel free to reach out to us and we'll make the best price for you.
On top of that, Business/Enterprise users have the ability to to create new roles and customize permissions.
Navigate to Settings → User Management and let's start.

Users section provides quick overview about:
Number of Users added to the account
User full name → from users profile account
User email associated with the account → email they're using for logging into iClosed account.
Not necessarily a Google Account Email they've used to connect their Calendar for accepting Events (as show on the picture above).User role assigned → Each user role has its own set of user permissions to access specific features in iClosed
Availability status → did a user set availability or not
"Set" green badge or
"Not set" yellow badge
Calendar status → did a user connected the calendar or not
If yes, it will show green badge "Connected (Gmail of the calendar connected for Events)"
if not, it will show yellow badge "Not connected"
Actions → buttons with available actions, depending if the User accepted account invite or not
if a user accepted account invite, you will have two options, to update user role or, to add user to the team you've created previously

Last action available is to delete a user
Deleted user will be removed from your account.
However, this seat will remain available until the end of the current billing cycle (learn more here).
Important Note
User will be available to participate as Event Host if his Google Calendar is not connected, but such user will not be able to generate Google Meet link in case Event Location set is Google Meet.
Users who didn't set their Availability will not be able to participate as Event Hosts.
Users who didn't accept invite yet would need to access the account first, before being able to participate in Events
Available actions

Additionally, you can select "Add Another" button while you're in the Add new user window, which will open additional row for another user to be invited.
Important Notes

This is a great way to organize performance KPI's in groups, in case you would like to segment the organization between different groups of Hosts/Closers. Here's how:

Revert filter to "All Closers and Teams" once you're done, so you could see all Users.
Roles & Permissions
