How to add a new user to the account:

Go directly to the Settings page on the left side panel. You will find the Team options:

Enter the Team Members and add a new user. There are three different roles

  • Admin: Has full permissions and administrative rights.

  • User: Has full permissions but no administrative rights.

  • Contributor: Can only manage clients assigned to them. Can't edit templates or see any other clients in the account.

Revoke users or edit users' permissions

When you revoke a user, you can instantly reassign all their Swydo items to another team member. The assigned team member will be notified, and all clients, reports, and schedules will transfer seamlessly—preventing data loss and making handovers a breeze.

You can do this at the Team members page on the three little dots. Click ‘Revoke Membership,’ then select the team member to whom you want to reassign the existing items. *Keep in mind that this option is only available for team admins. (more detail info below).

Here's where you could also edit the user's permissions.

💡 Remember, the seats in Swydo are unlimited, so you can add or remove users in the account to your liking.

How to reassign items when a team member leaves

Is a team member leaving? No worries! When you revoke a user, you can instantly reassign all their Swydo items to another team member. The assigned team member will be notified, and all clients, reports, and schedules will transfer seamlessly—preventing data loss and making handovers a breeze.

Go to your settings in the left menu, click on Team Members, find the departing user, and hover over the three dots on the right. Click ‘Revoke Membership,’ then select the team member to whom you want to reassign the existing items.

Transfer ownership of the account

How to transfer the ownership to another user

When the team needs a new owner, it is possible to transfer the ownership.

💡 The current owner is the only one who can transfer the ownership.

To transfer the ownership to another team member, go to the Settings page on the left side panel, then directly to "Team Ownership":

On this page, click on "transfer ownership" and at the dropdown to select an active user. Once you've selected someone, type Transfer.

That's all. If you need to make any other changes, like removing the past owner, you can ask the new owner to help.
