Inviting New Team Members

Ready to bring more hands on deck? Here's how to invite new users to your team:

  • For users without a LighthouseBeyond account: They'll receive an email inviting them to join. Once they sign up, they'll be automatically added to your team. You'll see their status as "Pending" until they complete their registration.
  • For users who already have a LighthouseBeyond account: They'll be added to your team instantly.

Understanding Access Levels

LighthouseBeyond offers different access levels to give you fine-grained control over what each team member can do. Here's a breakdown:

Access Level Permissions Ideal For
Read Only Can view alerts and audits. Cannot create, edit, or delete anything. Stakeholders who need to monitor progress
Edit Can create and edit alerts and audits. Cannot manage team members or account settings. Team members directly involved in optimization work
Admin Has full control: can create and edit alerts/audits, manage team members, and edit the team name. Cannot change billing or plan settings, or the account name Team leads or project managers
Account Owner Similar to Admins. In addition, they have access to edit billing, plans, and the account name. The primary person responsible for the account

Tip: Think about what each person needs to do in LighthouseBeyond when choosing their access level. Giving them the right permissions helps keep things organized and efficient.
