Best Practices and Guidelines

Role Assignment Recommendations

  • Start with Member Role: Assign new team members the Member role initially, then promote as needed

  • Limit Editor Access: Only assign Editor roles to trusted team members who require administrative capabilities

  • Regular Role Audits: Periodically review team member roles to ensure appropriate access levels

Security Considerations

  • Verify Email Addresses: Double-check email addresses before sending invitations to prevent unauthorized access

  • Monitor Role Changes: Keep records of role modifications for audit purposes

  • Immediate Action: Role changes and removals take effect immediately, so plan accordingly

Communication Protocol

  • Notify Affected Members: Inform team members before changing their roles or removing them

  • Document Changes: Maintain records of role changes for organizational transparency

  • Coordinate with HR/Management: Ensure role changes align with organizational policies


Troubleshooting Common Issues

๐Ÿ“ง Invitation Not Received

  • Verify the email address for typos

  • Check the recipient's spam/junk folder

  • Confirm the invitation appears in your "Pending Invitations" tab

  • Resend invitation if necessary

๐Ÿ”„ Role Changes Not Taking Effect

  • Refresh the browser page

  • Ask the affected member to log out and log back in

  • Contact Tallysight support if issues persist

๐Ÿšซ Unable to Remove Team Member

  • Ensure you have Editor privileges

  • Check if the member has critical assignments that need transfer

  • Verify the member isn't the workspace owner (owners cannot be removed)
