Manage your team

You can manage your teams, their features, and the people in them on the Team tab of the Settings page. Open the menu at the right of the header, select Settings, and choose Team along the top.

What you are able to do on this tab depends on your role in the team you are looking at. Team administrators see the controls to create and delete teams, to invite and remove members, and to change a member's role. Members see the same information read-only (with the exception that you are always able to remove yourself from a team).

Choosing a team

If you belong to more than one team, a Team selector at the top of the tab chooses which team the tab shows. It opens on the team you are working in, marked Active team.

Choosing another team shows that team's details, members, and features below. This does not switch you into that team: to do that, select Switch to this team, which appears beside the selector for any team that is not your active one. Tiro Pro then opens that team's first page. You can also switch from Switch team in the settings menu — see Around the app.

In addition to whatever other teams to which a user belongs, each user has their own "Personal" team. Work done on this team is private to that user. If you belong to only one team, its name is shown in place of the selector.

Create a team

  1. Select Create team, at the right of the selector row.
  2. Enter a name. A name is required; a description is optional.
  3. Select Create.

The team is created with you as its administrator, and it appears in the selector.

Any user can create a new team and invite others to it. The creating user is automatically made an administrator of that team.

You can think of teams as arbitrary working groups - nothing prevents you from making (and later disbanding) as many teams as you require for your individual work circumstances. The number of teams has no implications for billing.

Details

The Details card shows the selected team's Name, Description, Created date, and Your role in it.

Change a team's description

Team administrators can edit a team's description:

  1. Select Edit beside the description.
  2. Edit the text.
  3. Press Enter, or select Save.

To back out, press Escape or select Cancel. The description you started with is put back.

Members are able to view the description, but not edit it.

Delete a team

A team's administrators see a Delete team button at the foot of the Details card.

  1. Select Delete team.
  2. A confirmation window names the team and asks whether to move it to trash.
  3. Select Delete.

The team is moved to trash. If it was the team you were working in, Tiro Pro moves you to another of your teams.

To back out, select Cancel, press Escape, or select the background. The window closes and the team stays where it is.

Two rules limit this:

  • You cannot delete the only team you belong to. The button is present but disabled, and reads "You cannot delete your only team".
  • Where you are not an administrator of a team, the button does not appear at all.

The Members table

All members of the selected team are shown in the Members table.

Column What it shows
Email The member's email address.
Joined When they joined the team.
Role Their role, in a dropdown offering "Member" and "Admin".
Invited by The email address of whoever brought them into the team.
Remove The control for taking someone out of the team, where you may.

Change a member's role

Administrators change a user's role from that member's Role dropdown.

Members see the Role dropdown on every row, but cannot change it.

Each team must have at least one administrator. Where you are the only administrator, it is not possible to change your own role to "Member" unless you make another person an administrator first.

Remove a member

Administrators see a × on every member's row. Select it, and a confirmation names the person's email address and asks whether to remove them from the team. Confirm, and the member is removed.

The last administrator on a team cannot be removed.

Leave a team

If you are not an administrator, the × appears only on your own row. Select it and confirm, and you will be removed from that team.

If that team was the last team to which you belonged, a new "Personal" team is created for you. As such, you are never left without at least one team.

Invite a new member

Only team administrators may invite new members.

  1. Select Invite member, at the right of the Members heading.
  2. In the Invite member window, which names the team, enter the person's email address.
  3. Choose the role they should have.
  4. Select Send invite.

Where you are not an administrator, the Members table has no Invite member button.

Features

The Features card lists the parts of Tiro Pro — the pages along the top of the app, and the sections of Workflows — with On or Off beside each, as they stand for the selected team. It is a record of what the team has, useful when you are checking whether a part of the app is available to you.

Features are set up for your team by Tiro; there is nothing to change here.
