6.6 Member Management

This section explains how to manage workgroup members.

Member List

When you select a workgroup, the member list is displayed.

Display Items

Note: "Department" is a field each user sets on their own profile (see 9.5 Editing the Department). On the cloud server plan it cannot be edited directly from the member management screen. On the dedicated server plan, an admin can edit it from the Accounts tab.

About Sharing Privileges

Sharing privilege indicates the permission level for sharing books within the workgroup.

Note: Sharing privilege is different from book creation/editing permission. Users with "No sharing privilege" may still be able to create and edit books.

Difference Between Sharing Privilege and Account Permission (Dedicated Server Version)

In the dedicated server version, there are two distinct permission systems: Sharing Privilege and Account Permission.

These are independent concepts, and the same user can have different levels of permissions.

Example: A user with "Normal" account permission can act as "Manage sharing privilege" in a specific workgroup.

For details, see "About Account Permission and Sharing Privilege" in 7. Accounts (Dedicated Server).

Member Status

Checking Member Count

For owned workgroups, a summary of member counts is displayed at the top of the screen:

• Members: Total number of workgroup members
• Active: Number of normally joined members
• Inviting: Number of members with pending invitations
• Expired: Number of members with expired invitations
• Disabled: Number of disabled members

Checking User Capacity

Below the workgroup name, the organization's overall user capacity status is displayed:

• Current total accommodated users across all workgroups: The total number of users across all workgroups (if the same user belongs to multiple workgroups, they are counted for each)
• Maximum total accommodated users: The upper limit of total users allowed by your subscription plan

Note: This display helps you understand your organization's overall user capacity status. If you're approaching the limit, please consider upgrading your plan.
