User Management

Workspace owners and admins can manage members and guests in Slite — from roles and activity tracking to archiving and restoring users.

View and Manage Members & Guests

To manage the people in your workspace, click your team logo in the top left, choose Settings, then Member management.
You'll be able to:
  • view the lists of members and guests via the respective tabs at the top
  • choose who has the permission to invite new people
  • search for a member or guest
  • filter through the lists of members and guests
  • the filters available are Show archived members and Pending invites only
  • see the last activity of each member or guest
  • export the entire users list as a .csv
  • invite new people to join your workspace
  • resend invitations
  • change the role of members
  • archive users

Change a Member’s Role

Admins and owners can change user roles.
Only the workspace owner can transfer ownership to another member.
To change the role of a user, click its role in the Role column, then choose another role from the list.
While guests can be converted into members, members cannot be converted into guests.
If you have questions on the list of roles, see our dedicated article  ⁠⁠User Roles⁠  or contact  support@slite.com .

Resend an Invitation

To resend an invitation, click the Resend button next to the email address of the user in the Name column.

Archive a User

Archiving is ideal when someone leaves your team but might return later.
To archive someone, click the Archive user button to the right of their details. Once you confirm that action, the user won't be able to use Slite anymore until they are restored.

Restore a User

You can still access the archived users and restore them if needed:
  • Click the Filter button and toggle on Show archived members
  • Click Restore to the right of the user's details
Tip: You can click Transfer doc ownership to be redirected to the  ⁠⁠Knowledge Management Panel⁠  and make sure their docs can still be managed.

What happens to the user's data once their account gets archived?

  • Shared docs remain in channels
  • Private docs (from My private channel are sent via email as a backup .zip
  • They will have 15 days to download their docs.
  • After 15 days, the backup cannot be downloaded anymore.
