The Lab Management tool includes a setting to control Inventory access and permissions. The ability to manage access is restricted to members assigned the roles of Lab Manager or a custom role that includes the the Lab Management function. To learn more about specific roles and privileges, please visit Understanding Inventory Roles and Permissions.
The Users tab is accessible through the Lab Management menu. To access it, click the gear icon from the main navigation bar and select the Users tab. While viewing an Inventory Lab, if the gear icon is not available, this indicates that you have been assigned a role in the Inventory Lab that does not give you permissions to manage access.
Adding and Managing Users
To add a member to the Inventory Lab click Invite Users from the top-right corner of the Users tab. Enter the member's email address, then click Send Invite. To invite multiple users at one time, click on Invite More People. Once added, the members appear in the User list, where you can assign a role. By default, new members are assigned the Lab Member role and can be adjusted at any time through the Role menu. Lab Manager is the other available role. Custom roles can also be created and assigned. See Creating Custom Roles to learn how to create a new role.
Members can be removed from the Inventory Lab by selecting the trash can icon from the user row. Once a user is removed, their status is updated to Inactive in the Status column. The removed user's Inventory access is revoked, however, any Inventory items they added or edits that they have made will be maintained.An additional option is available at the top of the Users page to view the Active Users or All Users.
When a new user is invited, they will receive an email from Inventory with a link to join the Inventory Lab. The Lab Manager that invited the user also receives a confirmation email after the invitation is sent.
