Manage Messaging teams and access

Share or revoke access to messaging teams, and view the activity log for yourself or team members.

Team management

You add team members by sending an invitation to join a messaging project. Only Company account Owners and team members with Administrator permission can invite or remove other team members, change team member access levels, and grant project access.

Inviting team members

 Note

Verify addresses for existing Airship users before sending an invitation. If you enter an email address that does not match an existing Airship user account, they will receive an email with a request to activate a new account.

You can invite users to a project from the Team Access section of the project’s settings. There are two ways to get there:

  1. From a project, go to Settings, then select Manage for Team Access.

OR

  1. Select the account menu icon () in the dashboard header, then select Team Management.
  2. Under Share project, select the open icon () next to a project name.

Now you can create an invitation:

  1. Enter an email address.
  2. Select an access level.
  3. Select Share project.

After sending an invitation, the Team Access page lists the invited user as pending. If they decline the invitation, the user is removed from the project’s member list. Invitations expire 24 hours after they are sent.

Accepting or declining team invitations

If you are invited to a messaging project team but do not yet have an Airship account, you will receive an email asking you to activate a new account. After activating the account and setting up your password and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

  1. Select the account menu icon () in the dashboard header, then select Team Management.
  2. Select Accept in the Project invitations list.

If you already have an Airship account, you will receive an email asking you to accept access in Team Management in your account. You can either follow the link in the email to go directly to Team Management or follow the above steps.

You have 24 hours to accept an invitation after it is sent. If you select Decline for an invitation, the invitation is deleted.

Removing team members

To delete a team invitation, change the user’s project access level to Remove Access.

Managing project access

To share access to a project, follow the same steps as sending a team invitation.

To revoke access for a team member, change their access level to Remove Access.

To remove yourself from a project team:
