Workspaces inside organizations can have more than one user, allowing you to track time alongside your team and providing them access the data they need.
In this guide, we cover:
Organization and workspace users can be edited in the webapp. These actions cannot be done from mobile apps, desktop apps or Toggl Track Button.
Inviting Users to your Organization
When you create a new Organization, you will be prompted to invite team members, however, you can add users to your organization at any time.
To add users to your Organization, click on the Members button in the sidebar and click Invite Members.
If you have the multi-workspace functionality enabled you'll also be prompted to choose which workspaces to invite them to, and which access to provide them with.
Invited users (for the Organization) can be seen under the Show Invited users filter and invitations can be deleted from that view by using the 3-dot control. The invite expires after 30 days.
Accepting invites
The way that the invite is accepted depends on whether or not the invitee has a Toggl Track account or not.
Invited user doesn't have a Toggl Track account
Click on the invitation link within the invitation email. Doing so will open Toggl Track and ask you to create a password and accept our TOS:
Clicking on the invitation link takes you to a page where you can create a password:
Invited user already has a Toggl Track account
Invitees who already have a Toggl Track account must accept the invitation through the web app. More specifically, via the notification centre. Click on the small bell icon in the bottom-left on the webapp to view all notifications.
Editing Organization and Workspace Members
Organization users can be added and removed from the Members page. You can review active, inactive and invited users here, filter for users or search through them, view what workspace(s) they are a part of, change access rights and edit or deactivate them.
To edit an organization user's billable rate, visit the Members tab, then filter for the workspace you wish to work on. The resulting screen will show the active users present in the workspace, with areas to enter and/or edit billable and labor rates. Alternately, if you are already in the workspace you wish to edit, simply click on the "Settings" tab in the sidebar, then on "Billable Rates" in the screen that appears.
For more details on how to manage users in your Organization and workspaces, read this guide.
Removing Organization or Workspace Members
Users can be removed from a workspace via the 3-dot control on the Members page: use the "All Workspaces" filter dropdown to select the workspace, then choose "Remove From This Workspace" from the three-dot menu next to the user you wish to remove. This does not effect active user count or subscription costs.
Organization users can be deactivated or deleted from the unfiltered Members page via the 3-dot control present there. Either of these actions will remove a user from your subscription.
Here you can:
1. You can deactivate users
2. You can delete users.
What's the difference between deleting and deactivating a user?
Deactivating a user is a reversible action, you can choose to reactivate that same user at a later date. It also places them under the Inactive view on the Organization > Organization Members page. Inactive users are not counted for the purposes of calculating subscription costs.
Please note that neither deleting or deactivating users deletes their data (tracked time) but it is easier to find data for deactivated users. Delete user time loses its association with the person who tracked it. For this reason we recommend the deactivation of users, rather than deleting them
With deleted users you would need to use a special approach.
Deleting a user completely removes the user from the organization and is not a reversible action. In order to rejoin they need to be invited again. We recommend you use this only in cases where you're certain the user will never need to track time in your organization again and if you don't need to view their data in regular reports like you did while they were active in your organization, hence this warning will appear when you try to delete a user.
Re-activating users
Switch to the 'inactive' view on the Organization > Organization Members page to see all deactivated users. Move your mouse over the three vertical dots on the far right of the name of the user you want to reactivate.
When a dropdown arrow appears, click on it and select Activate from the menu that appears.
Creating user groups
User groups are a great way to combine multiple users for easier use. User groups can be used to easily assign multiple users to a project, as well as filtering by group in the Reports tab. You can also bulk add users to a workspace via user groups.
To create a user group simply switch over to the 'Groups' tab on the Organization page and here you can add a new User Group.
On the popup that opens:
Enter a User Group name
Select which organization members to add to it
Select which workspace to add the user group to
Editing and deleting user groups:
While on the Organization > Groups tab simply click on the three vertical dots on the far right of a group's name to see additional options and select to edit or delete a group:
Clicking on 'Edit' will show that same popup the one that shows up when you start creating a group allowing you to change it's name and members:
Clicking on 'Delete' will show you a popup warning you how that will affect the users within the group and asking you to reconfirm your selection:
Reviewing Team Activity
Review recent time entries your team members have created on the Organization > Workspaces > Select Workspace > Activity tab. Only Admins can access this page unless the Workspace Setting for this is set to everyone.
View the most active team members in the last 7 days as well as review Activity by User or even the Last 20 time entries using the dropdown filter.
Frequently Asked Questions
The invitation link doesn't work. What do I do?
In these rare situations, it's best to ask an Administrator to cancel the invitation. They can do this on the Organization > Organization Members page, click the 3-dot control and choose Delete.
Afterward, create a Toggl Track account using the same email address, then ask the Administrator to invite the email address you used. You should now see the invitation when you log in.
If you still have questions about managing Organizations members, please contact our Support team by clicking on the purple chat icon in the bottom right corner of this page to start a chat.
Why are some inactive users grayed out on the Members page and others aren't?
This is a state which can occur in workspaces that have the multi-workspace functionality enabled.
User is greyed out - it means the user is deactivated in the entire organization. To reactivate them, click on the three-dots menu > Activate.
User is not greyed out, but there is (inactive) next to their name - it means the user is active in the organization, but inactive in the workspace you're currently viewing. You can deactivate them (in the Org) by clicking on the three-dots menu > Deactivate.
