Managing users in DSM

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.

Inviting 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.

Removing users from the organization

To remove a user from the DSM organization:

1. Sign in to the DSM website.
2. Click your profile icon, and then click Manage people.
3. Next to the user's name, click the drop-down and select Remove.
4. Click Delete.

Changing user roles in the organization

If you are on the DSM Enterprise plan, you can change an organization user's role at any time.

1. Sign in to the DSM website.
2. Click your profile icon, and then click Manage people.
3. Next to the user's name, click the drop-down and select the appropriate role.

Adding users to a design system

Any admin or editor can invite other DSM organization users to a design system.

To add users to a DSM design system:

1. Sign in to the DSM website.
2. Open your design system and click the Share button.
3. In the share dialog, enter the name of the person you want to add.
   
   The person must first be part of the DSM organization.
4. If you're an admin on the DSM Enterprise plan, select a role for the user (Viewer, Editor, or Admin).
   
   If you're an editor on the DSM Enterprise plan, you can't change the user's role; they are added to the design system with the same permissions they have at the organization level. If you’re using DSM Free, the role is locked to Admin.
5. Click Invite.
