How to Add a Sub-User (Team Member)

This guide walks you through adding a new team member to your Erlin account so they can access your workspace.

Step 1: Open the User Menu

Click on your profile avatar in the top-right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear with several options.

From the menu, select "Manage Sub Users".

The menu also includes options like Account and Usage, Upgrade to Pro, Reset Password, Manage your stores, and theme toggle — but for adding a user, go straight to Manage Sub Users.

Step 2: The Team Members Page

You'll land on the Team Members page. Here you can see:

  • A summary of your total team members, active members, and pending invitations

  • A list of all existing sub-users with their email, status, permissions, and when they were added

If you haven't added anyone yet, you'll see a message saying "No team members found."

Step 3: Click "Add Team Member"

Click the "Add Team Member" button (top-right of the page). A dialog box will open.

Step 4: Fill in the Details

The form asks for three things:

  1. Email Address — Enter the email of the person you want to add (e.g. team.member@company.com)

  2. Password — Set a password for them. It must be at least 8 characters and include:

    • An uppercase letter

    • A lowercase letter

    • A number

    • A special character

  3. Permission Level — Choose one:

    • Read Only — They can view content but cannot make any changes

    • Read & Write — They can view and modify content

Step 5: Click "Create Team Member"

Once all fields are filled in, click "Create Team Member". The system will create the account.

Step 6: Share the Credentials

After the account is created, a success screen will appear showing:

  • The sub-user's email address

  • Their password

  • A login URL they can use to sign in

You can copy each field individually, or click "Copy All Credentials" to copy everything at once. Share these details securely with the new team member.

Important: Share the password through a secure channel. The new user should change their password after their first login.

Managing Existing Sub-Users

From the Team Members page, you can also:

  • Change permissions — Switch a user between Read Only and Read & Write

  • Remove a sub-user — Remove their access entirely

All changes take effect immediately.
