Managing members in Manuals

Managing members in Manuals

Overview  
In Manuals, you can assign specific roles to members to keep your content organized and up to date.
  • Contributors focus on creating and updating articles.
  • Admins manage the overall structure, permissions, and member roles within the manual.
Together, they ensure your manual stays accurate, structured, and collaborative.

A Contributor is responsible for creating and editing articles within a manual. You can add contributors in two ways.

1. While creating a manual

  2. Click New Manual (1) at the bottom-left of the extended menu or click the + (2) icon on the top-right side.



  3. In the pop-up, enter the manual name and description.
  4. In Add contributors, search and select members or spaces.

The selected members will be added as contributors and can start working on the manual.

Making someone an Admin  

An Admin has complete control over a manual.
They can:
  • Create and edit articles
  • Assign roles
  • Manage permissions
  • Organize the manual structure
 
To make a member an Admin:  
  1. Go to Manuals from the left menu.

  6. Click the gear icon next to the member’s name.

Removing an Admin or Contributor  

You can remove a member’s role when they no longer need editing or management access. Once removed, they lose role-specific privileges but can still access the manual based on its permissions.
