After clicking the green Invite User button, the new user will receive an email invitation with their password and a verification link. After verifying their information, they will be able to log in to the Databox Account.

When adding a new user, only their role can be selected. Each new user gets access to all public Databoards in that space, but only Administrators get default access to Client Accounts.

How User Roles are defined

There are 4 User Types that you can select when adding a new contact in Databox, each with specific access and permission levels.

Administrator: Administrators have full access to the Databox Account. They have the ability to add and manage users, as well the ability to access and edit all Data Source connections and Databoards in the Account.

Only Administrators can invite and approve new users to the Databox Account. Editors are able to invite new users to the account as well, but invited users will need to be approved by an admin before receiving an email invitation that includes their access credentials.

Editor: Editors can edit and delete all Databoards that they have access to. Databoard access can be limited for Editors by Admins in the Account. Editors can add new users, but they cannot manage users in the Account or edit Data Sources that they did not connect.
User: Users can view Databoards that they have access to, but they can only edit and share Databoards that they created. Similarly, they can only view Annotations on Databoards they have access to, and they can only edit Annotations on Databoards that they created. Users can't manage users in the Account or edit Data Sources that they did not connect.
Viewer: Viewers can view Databoards they have access to, but cannot access any other features in your Account.
