Add existing users to new department

People who are already in your Manifestly account can be given a role in another department without being invited again. This is the quickest way to staff a department you have just created.

Add existing people to a department

  1. Open Team from the side navigation, or go to app.manifest.ly/settings/users.
  2. Open the department's three-dot menu and choose Manage Users. This opens the department's People tab.
  3. Click + Team Member, then the Choose Existing Person tab.
  4. Under Select user, pick the person. The list holds everyone in your account who is not yet in this department.
  5. Choose their Role in this department: Admin, User, Member or Limited.
  6. Click Add to Department. The person appears in the department's list straight away. Repeat for the next person.

The Team Member dialog on its Choose Existing Person tab, with the Select user field, the Role dropdown and the Add to Department button

Roles are set per department, so the same person can be an Admin here and a Limited user elsewhere. The other two tabs in the same dialog, Add New and Add from Slack, are for people who are not in your account yet. See Managing Users and Their Permissions for what each role can do, and Organize Users into Departments for how departments fit together.
