All members of a team or group must be assigned a role in Tines. Each role has a set of permissions assigned to them which will give read and/or write access to objects in the team or group.

How do I invite users to a team?

Adding members to a team is simple:

  1. Open Tines and click on your team name

  2. Click Settings and then Users

  3. Hit +New and enter the email address of the user you want to invite. You can separate multiple email addresses with a comma.

  4. Optional: Assign teams and roles

After a team member accepts the invitation, you can configure their role.
