Sift | Docs

Manage Users

Users has two tabs: Users and Groups.

Users

Users list all users belonging to your organization. Users with email addresses with your domain will be added to your organization by default when they sign up for Sift.

Inviting External Users

You can invite users from outside your organization to use Sift, which enables you to share your data with your customers.

Click the Invite User button to reveal an email input and user group selector. As detailed below, assigning a user group restricts the external user to specific actions. Clicking Invite will send an invitation to the user.

Deactivating Users

Users can be deactivated by clicking Deactivate in the user's row or using the API.

Editing a User's User Groups

You can add or remove users from groups by clicking on the Groups cell in a user's row. You can search for groups using multiple words, case matching, or regular expressions. Click Save to save your changes.

Groups

Groups lists all groups created for your organization.

Users in your organization will be added to the default user group, and external users will be added to the group they were invited to. You can delete groups by clicking on the trash icon.

Creating User Groups

To create a group, click the Create User Group button. The number of groups that can be created is unlimited.

There are four different roles that a group can have.

  • Admin: Read and write time series data and metadata and manage users.
  • Collaborator: Read time series data and view and write metadata.
  • Editor: Read and write time series data and metadata.
  • Viewer: Read time series data and metadata.

User groups can view time series data from all assets or be restricted to viewing data from specific assets. After you've filled out all of the fields, click Create.

Editing User Groups

You can modify a user group's name, users, role, and assets by clicking on the respective cell in a user group's row. You can also set a default user group by clicking the check box and delete a user group by clicking the trash can. Click Save to save your changes.
