πŸ‘₯ How to Invite a Team to OFM Pro

Team management in OFM Pro allows you to collaborate with colleagues by inviting them to your workspace with different permission levels.

Updated over 5 months ago

This feature enables you to share access to your projects while maintaining control over what each team member can do.

Note: Team management is only available on the Agency plan.


Accessing Team Management

  1. Navigate to Settings in your OFM Pro dashboard

  2. Select Team from the settings menu

  3. You'll see the team management interface where you can invite and manage team members


Inviting Team Members

Step 1: Add Team Member Email

  1. In the Team section, locate the "Invite Team Member" or similar option

  2. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite

  3. Select the appropriate permission level (see permissions section below)

  4. Click "Send Invite" or "Add Member"

Step 2: Permission Levels

When inviting team members, you can assign one of three permission levels:

  • Admin: Full access to all features and settings, including team management

  • Editing: Can view and edit projects and content

  • View Only: Can view projects and content but cannot make changes

Important Email Considerations

Re-adding Previously Deleted Members

If you've previously added and then removed a team member's email address, you cannot simply re-add the same email address. This is because the email remains linked to the team account in the system.

Workaround: If you need to re-invite someone whose email was previously deleted, you can use email aliasing:

Error Messages

If you attempt to re-add a previously deleted email address, you'll receive an "email already in use" error message. This indicates you need to use the email aliasing workaround described above.

Managing Existing Team Members

Once team members are added, you can:

  • Change their permission levels

  • Remove them from the team

  • View their current access status

Troubleshooting

Problem: "Email already in use" error when adding a team member
​Solution: The email was previously added to the team. Use email aliasing ([email protected]) to create a unique variation.

Problem: Team management option not visible
​Solution: Ensure you're on the Agency plan, as team management is not available on other plans.

Problem: Team member can't access certain features
​Solution: Check their permission level and adjust if necessary. Admin permissions may be required for certain functions.

Best Practices

  1. Plan Permission Levels: Consider what each team member needs to accomplish before assigning permissions

  2. Use Descriptive Aliases: When using email aliases, use descriptive text that helps you remember the purpose (e.g., [email protected])

  3. Regular Review: Periodically review your team list to ensure access remains appropriate

  4. Document Access: Keep track of who has what level of access for security and organizational purposes
