How to Add and Manage Users in Your INBOX Account

January 15, 2025 | Email Marketing & Team Management | Read time: ~8min

If you're managing email campaigns with a team, it's not realistic to handle everything on your own. You'll have designers working on templates, marketers scheduling campaigns, and finance checking invoices. That's where INBOX comes in — it lets you add team members to your account, assign them roles, and control exactly what they can do. And the best part? You don't have to share your password with anyone.

Note: Multi-user access is available only on certain INBOX plans. If you don't see this feature in your dashboard, check out the upgrade options.

Think about it — do you want your finance team poking around campaign drafts, or your designers accidentally touching billing settings? Probably not. By inviting users, you can:

  • Delegate tasks without confusion: Let each person focus on their part of the workflow.
  • Keep sensitive info safe: Restrict access to billing, subscriber lists, or analytics.
  • Speed up collaboration: Everyone works inside the same platform without juggling multiple logins.
  • Stay in control: You're still the owner, deciding who sees what and for how long.

Whether you're sending newsletters or transactional emails, having multiple users makes managing your campaigns smoother.

Letter Icon User Roles in INBOX

Not everyone needs full access. INBOX lets you assign different roles, so each team member has just the right permissions.

Administrator

This is the "full control" role. Admins can create or delete users, access billing, export subscriber data, and manage all campaigns. Essentially, they can do everything in the account.

For guidance on setting up admins, see our Knowledge Base.

Manager

Managers can do most things — create and edit campaigns, use Automation, or design emails with the Newsletter Design Tool — but they cannot manage users, export subscribers, or access billing.

It's perfect for marketing leads or content coordinators.

Viewer

A Viewer can only see reports and campaign stats. They can check performance in Reporting & Analytics, but they cannot edit or send campaigns. Ideal for clients, supervisors, or anyone who just needs to monitor progress.

Accountant

Accountants only see billing and invoices. No access to campaigns, subscribers, or settings — just the financial side. This keeps your marketing data separate and secure.

Adding someone new is straightforward:

  • Go to Settings → Users.
  • Click Add New User.
  • Enter their Name, Surname, and Email Address.
  • Optional: Set an Expire Date if access should expire.
  • Select the correct User Role.
  • Optionally require password updates every 60 days.
  • Click Save.

The user will receive an email to join your account. Until they accept, their status shows as Pending. You can resend or cancel invitations at any time.

Letter Icon Updating or Changing Roles

Sometimes people switch roles. Maybe a marketer is now managing analytics, or an accountant leaves the company. You don't have to remove them — just edit their role:

  • Go to Settings → Users.
  • Click Edit next to the person's name.
  • Change the role or adjust custom permissions.
  • Save. Done.

Changes take effect immediately, so no downtime or confusion.

They'll be removed instantly, keeping your email campaigns and subscriber data safe.

Letter Icon Best Practices

Here are some tips to keep your INBOX workspace safe and efficient:

  • Assign roles based on necessity. Only give access to what each person actually needs.
  • Use expiration dates for temporary collaborators.
  • Check your user list regularly to remove inactive accounts.
  • Encourage strong passwords and occasional updates.
