Managing members and teams

Account management enables users with the necessary admin permissions to control which users have access to Dynamic Content hubs and repositories using:

  • Organizations - A user must be an 'active member' of an organization to access its hubs and repositories

  • Members - Member is the term used in account management to refer to users in an organization

  • Teams - Members can be grouped into teams

Who can manage members and teams?

Organization administrators can perform all account management actions, and users with the hub admin role can perform a subset of those actions. See hub admin role.

The Account management panel shows members and teams for your selected organization. If you have more than one organization, you can switch to a different one. If you log in as an organization or hub admin user, your permission level is displayed at the top of the window. In the example below, an organization admin user is logged in.

The Account management panel

Users who are members of the organization are listed with their names. Users without names have either not yet logged in to Dynamic Content or haven't accepted their email invitation to join the organization.

All members in an organization can see all other organization members, teams and permissions.

Inviting members

User accounts for Dynamic Content are created by Amplience Support. After this you request support to send email invitations to users through the Service Catalog.

For each user, your request must include the user's email address. You may optionally add the user name and organization name.

After users are invited, they are shown in the members list (highlighted gray) until they accept their invitations.

Invited users

Users can accept invitations in the following ways:

  • Automatically - by logging in to Dynamic Content

  • Manually - by accepting their email invitation

expired invitations

Invitations expire after a certain time and if not accepted, will need to be sent again by organization admins.

Once a new user has logged in, users with the necessary admin permissions will be able to set permissions, and add users to teams.

Removing members from an organization
Link copied!

Organization administrators can remove members' access to all Dynamic Content hubs and repositories in an organization, by removing those members from an organization. Removing a member from an organization automatically removes them from any teams they are in.

When you remove a user from an organization you are simply canceling them from being a member of an organization, but not removing their user account. If a user is in other organizations, they remain in those organizations, and if a user has access to Content Hub, that access still remains.

Important - to completely remove user accounts

This action does not remove user accounts. If the users you remove from an organization no longer require access to Dynamic Content or Content Hub, a support ticket must be raised to completely remove the users.

To remove an individual member from an organization: - From the Members tab, open the member's contextual menu and choose "Remove from organization".

Remove member from organization menu option

To remove multiple members from an organization: - From the Members tab, select members and then choose "Remove from organization" from the toolbar.

The Remove from organization dialog is displayed, from which you can confirm or cancel.

info

If a member is removed from an organization by mistake, an invitation must be sent to the user and accepted by them to access the organization again. See Inviting members.

If the removed member was in any teams, they will need to be added to those teams again. See Adding members to teams.
