    Article Summary

    With Design System Manager (DSM), you have varying degrees of control over who can access your organization and design system. This article explains how to add, remove, and edit users at both the organization and system level.

    Some user roles are limited to the DSM Enterprise plan. For a thorough explanation of available roles and permissions at both the organization and system level, check out this guide: Roles and Permissions in DSM

    Inviting users to the organization

    Note:

    Only DSM admins can invite users to the organization.

    To invite users to your DSM organization:

    1. Sign in to the DSM website.
    2. Click your profile icon, and then click Manage people.
    3. In the Invite collaborators field, type the email address for the person you want to add.
      If you are on an InVision Enterprise plan or using InVision V7, the person must already be a member of your InVision team.
    4. If you're on the DSM Enterprise plan, select a role for the user (Viewer, Editor, or Admin). If you’re using DSM Free, the role is locked to Admin.
    5. Click Invite.

    The user will appear as Pending until they accept the invite.

    3. In the share dialog, enter the name of the person you want to add.
