Manage Team Members in Zoho WorkDrive

Manage Team Members

The Members section in your Admin Console will display the list of all members in your team. You can also see a summarized view of how many members in your team are active, suspended, or deleted, as well as the number of pending invites.
 
Here's how you can use your team member list:
  • Sort this list based on - Alphabetical order (of names), Newness of members, Storage used by members.
  • Filter this list to view pending invites, suspended members and deleted members.


You can also add people to your team, resend invitations, change member roles, delete, or suspend members in the Members section.
