How do I set user permissions?

    To set permissions for existing users, you must be on the Essential or Professional plan.

    First click on the user icon in the right hand corner, then select Manage Users. Click on the pencil icon of the user you want to edit, then use the toggles to set what that user can and cannot do on Backbar. If the toggle is blue, that means that the user is allowed to perform that action. If it is grey, then they cannot. 

     

    You can also set permissions when inviting a new user, following the same steps.
