Create user accounts for team members who need access to Zeltask. Each user gets their own login credentials and permission level based on their role in the organization.

  • You need Admin or Manager permissions to create users
  • Have the user's email address ready (this will be their login)

Accessing the Users Module

  1. Click Users & Teams in the sidebar
  2. The Users view loads by default
