Our Unlimited Research Model facilitates Scaling Qual Research by assigning seats to your team members, granting them access to your organization subscription.
From your subscription, your researchers will be able to start new projects.
The organization dashboard is only available for the organization admin on an unlimited subscription plan.
Managing Organization Members
An organization is a company, where the members of an organization all share the same email domain. An organization can have teams and users.
To manage your organization's members, start by clicking the "Members" button in the top right of the dashboard. Note that this is only available from the dashboard to organization admins.
Adding Seated Members to an Organization
Organization Admin can invite new users to available seats in their organization. This step is also important if you have agency partners running projects from your subscription. Adding them as researchers will allow them to link the research to your subscription.
Instructions
- Sign in to your Discuss account
- Click on "Member" on the top right of your dashboard
- Click on "Invite Members"
- Simply enter their emails, select roles, and add them to the organization.
- If all seats are filled, they will be able to add a new seat to their subscription on the dashboard.
- It's important to note that adding a user to the organization does not automatically give access to any projects. They need to be added to specific projects
Request Approval
When an organization has reached its seat limit, Researchers can request new seats from the Project Overview page by adding an Editor or Collaborator to a project.
When a request is made, the Organization Admin will receive an email notification letting them know that there is a pending request to add a new Researcher to their organization. They will also see a notification on their Dashboard when they log in, letting them know that a request is pending.
Any pending requests will be called out at the top of the page. The Admin can choose to Approve or Deny the request.
- Approving a request
Approving the request will add a new seat to an organization’s subscription and the pending user will be promoted to the Researcher role. The system will also automatically promote the pending user to the Editor or Collaborator on the project where the request was made.
In the case where an Admin wants to approve the request without adding a new seat to the subscription, it is necessary to make a different user a Viewer before approving the new seat request.
- Denying the request
An Admin can also choose deny from the dropdown and the pending user will remain a Viewer.
Moving a Seated Member to Viewer
Downgrading a user from a paid researcher seat to a viewer will modify the project permissions anywhere the user is a Project Owner, Editor, or Collaborator. Removing the user from all projects. The user must confirm the action, which cannot be undone.
If the user being downgraded is a Project Owner, ownership for any projects will automatically transfer to the Organization admin making the change.
Viewers cannot edit any part of a project. They can only view the Recordings page, the Highlight Reel page, and the Self Capture page (if enabled). This role cannot share or download recordings.
Instructions
- Navigate to the "Members" button in the top right of the dashboard. Note that this is only available from the dashboard and is not visible inside Projects or the My Account page.
- To downgrade a user from a paid Researcher seat to an unpaid Viewer, the Org Admin can simply click on the current role assigned to the user and select the desired Viewer role from the list.
- The Org Admin performing the role downgrade will be asked to confirm the role change action, as the role downgrade is irreversible.
- Viewers can be switched to a Paid research seat at any time. However, the user would have to be manually added to each project they require access to.
