Overview

This guide outlines navigating the Teammates settings page to add, edit, inactivate, or reactivate users on your Lister account.

We recommend each user have their own unique Lister account that’s not shared amongst teams for accurate productivity reporting and account security.

How to Access Teammates Settings

Teammates settings are in the Admin section of Lister. Only admins and custom roles with access to manage teammates and roles can view and edit these settings.

  1. Click the gear icon in the top right navigation menu of Lister to go to the Admin page

  2. Click “Teammates” under the “Team” section in the left navigation menu


Terminology

Teammates: Teammates are individual user accounts assigned to a specific role.

  • We recommend creating a teammate account for each individual who will interact with the software to provide maximum accountability and transparency

Roles: Roles define permissions and access within Lister and Link. Please review our Default and Customizable Roles and Permissions guide to learn more.

  • Default roles come preset with your Lister account and cannot be edited or deleted

  • Custom roles are created by admins and combine elements of default roles or activate training mode for new employees


How to Add a New Teammate

Click the blue “Add teammate” button at the top of the page to create a new user.

On the next page, fill out the following information:

  1. Full Name: Enter the first and last name of the teammate

  2. Username: Enter a unique username

  3. Email (optional): Enter the teammate’s email address to enable login via email address and self-serve password reset

  4. Password: Enter a strong password for the teammate. Users can change their passwords in Lister by following the steps in this help article

  5. Supplier (optional): Select a supplier if this teammate is based in a store

  6. Shopgoodwill Login (Shopgoodwill users only): If the teammate’s role allows listing products, enter their Shopgoodwill login credentials in this field

  7. Create Teammate: Click the blue "Create teammate" button to add the new user to your Lister account

💡 Operational Tip: Email is optional as not all organizations have email addresses for team members. If a teammate forgets their Lister password and an email address is not associated with a teammate, an admin needs to reset their password.


How to Edit Teammates

Clicking “Edit” next to a teammate allows you to change their basic information (name, username, password) and details (Role, Supplier, and Shopgoodwill username and password).


How to Inactivate Teammate Logins

If a teammate no longer requires access to their account, we highly recommend you update their status to "Inactive." Deactivated teammates cannot log in or access any features within Upright Lister or Upright Link. Follow the steps below to deactivate one or more teammates.

  1. Click the checkbox next to the users you need to deactivate

  2. Click the Actions menu

  3. Click "Deactivate" in the dropdown menu

  4. Click the red "Deactivate users" button in the popup box

You can also deactivate a teammate by clicking the "Edit" link next to their account name in the teammate list and changing the activation status to "Inactive" at the bottom of the page.


How to Reactivate Teammate Logins

  1. Click the “Inactive teammates” tab

  2. Click the checkbox next to the teammate(s) you want to reactivate

  3. Click the “Actions” menu

  4. Select “Activate” in the dropdown menu

You can also reactivate a teammate by clicking the "Edit" link next to their account name in the teammate list and changing the activation status to "Active" at the bottom of the screen.

This method is handy if the teammate also needs a new account password.
