Invite Workspace Users

Workspace administrators can manage the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta Enterprise Edition users who are permitted to use the workspace.

All of these functions are available through the Admin console. For more information, see Admin Console.

Invite User

To permit a user to access the workspace, a workspace administrator must complete the following steps.

Note

When a user accepts your invitation, the additional user counts toward the maximum number of permitted users of the workspace.

Note

If you are re-inviting a user who has been removed, you must wait 14 days to invite the user back to the same workspace and retain the user's data. If restoring the user's flows and recipes is not important, please contact Alteryx Support for immediate re-instatement.

Steps:

  1. Login to the Trifacta Application as an administrator.

  2. From the left navigation bar, select User menu > Admin console > Users.

  3. In the Workspace Users page, click Invite users.

  4. In the Invite users dialog, enter a comma-separated list of email addresses to which to send invites.

    1. These addresses become the user identifier for logging into the Trifacta Application.

    2. Avoid sending invites to email aliases.

    3. Example:

      joe.smith@example.com, mary.jones@example.com
  5. To invite the list of users, click Invite users.

  6. An email is sent to each valid user email address that you listed. The receiving user must click the link in the email to accept the invitation.

The user is invited via email and created within the workspace. You can modify the user account as needed before the user chooses to log in. See below.

For more information, see Workspace Users Page.

      Warning

      You should avoid assigning the admin role to a large number of users.

  5. Click Save.

  6. The user's workspace role is immediately updated.

Assign roles

When the account is created, it is automatically assigned the Default role. You should review the permissions associated with this role and to determine if the user needs to be assigned a different one. For more information, see Workspace Roles Page.

Suspend User

If needed, a user's account can be suspended from the workspace. When a user account is suspended:

  • The user can no longer log in to the application or use any available API endpoints.
