The Users tab allows you to invite new users, manage which teams they’re part of, and control access to your Forest project.

Accessing user management

  1. Click your project logo in the top-left corner
  2. Select Project Settings
  3. Navigate to the Users tab

Inviting new users

To add a user to your Forest project:
  1. In the “Invite users” section, provide:
    • Email address - The user’s work email
    • Team - The team they will join
    • Role - Their role for granular permissions
    • Permission level - User, Manager, Editor, Developer, or Admin
  2. Click Invite
Pending invitations are listed below the user list to track who hasn’t accepted yet.

Managing user teams

Access a user’s details page to manage which teams they’re part of:
  • Add them to a new team
  • Modify their teams
  • Remove them from a team
A user must be assigned to at least one team at all times. Make sure to add them to a new team before removing them from their current one.
Remember to save changes after making adjustments.

User tags

Tags organize users into groups for the Scopes feature, controlling data visibility based on user attributes. Each tag consists of a key and value pair:
  • Key - Must be unique per user (e.g., region, department, office_id)
  • Value - The specific value for that user (e.g., US-West, Sales, 42)

Example use cases

  • Regional access - Tag users with region: EU or region: US to show only relevant data
  • Department filtering - Tag with department: Sales to restrict to sales records
  • Multi-tenant applications - Tag with client_id: 123 for client-specific data access

Removing users

To delete a user account:
  1. Open their details page from the Users tab
  2. Scroll to the Danger zone section
  3. Click Remove user
  4. Confirm by typing CONFIRM REMOVE
Removing a user is permanent and will immediately revoke their access to Forest.
