Adding Admins

This article explains how to assign workspace-level roles in Guru, including Admin, Creator, and custom roles. It also covers why using a system login for Admin access is recommended, especially when configuring integrations or external sources.

Access Required

Only current workspace Admins (or a relevant custom role) can assign Admin roles. If your workspace no longer has any Admins, contact Guru Technical Support.


Assigning workspace-level roles

Making a user an Admin, Creator, or other custom workspace role

To assign workspace-level access to a user:

  1. In Guru’s web app, go to Manage > Workspace Permissions.
  2. In the All Members list, use the Find member by name or e-mail field to locate the teammate.
  3. Start typing their name or email β€” results will auto-populate.
  4. Select the teammate and choose one of the following role options:
    • Admin
    • Creator
    • Custom role with workspace-level access
  5. The selected role will be applied immediately.

You can have multiple Admins in a single workspace.

Using a system login for Admin access

Why it's recommended

  • Minimize disruptions: Use a system login as an Admin when configuring connected apps and integrations. This ensures continuity even if team members leave or change roles.
  • Transparent access: System logins help maintain visibility and clarity when authenticating with any external source.
