WorksManager

On our account we have multiple admins.  In the past if I created a project the other admins could add themselves .  There doesn't appear to be a way to do this any longer.  Has this changed?  Can we change it back?  I know that I can add each other user manually but this work flow has worked well in the past and we have a large amount of projects I would need to go back and edit.

Hi Skyler, 

There is a recent change to this workflow with the release of the new tier of WorksManager, WorksManager Pro. Check out the published blog article on this topic along with the workaround. We've heard some great feedback the past 2-3 days that the anticipated timeline we've provided in the blog article is not meeting customer and dealer expectations. Our engineering team are taking a hard look at the options and we hope to be able to shorten it.

Hi Nicole,

I appreciate the fast response.  We will add each other for the next few months until self add has been reinstated.  Thank you.

The ability to for a user to add themselves or remove themselves from a project is a big feature for us.  At this time, it looks like the only person that can admin users for the project is the project creator.  At a minimum admins should be able to add users to the project, but that is not possible with this new revision.

That is a good point Matt.  We have had a few other platforms that function this way and it works OK until someone is on vacation or leaves the company and then you end up loosing data or having to recreate it.  Having 2 tiers of Admins would work fine also platform admins who could access anything and project admins who could only create and edit projects.
