Team Organization

Add People To Team

There are two ways to add people to teams. Admins can invite multiple people via emails or import an excel file for inviting people in bulk.

When uploading from an Excel file, make sure that two mandatory columns headings for email and role (admin or normal user) are filled up. Emails that are invalid or are already invited to the Team will automatically be skipped. Once all users have been successfully invited, there will be a confirmation message at the pop up on the right. When new invited users successfully login to Thinkspace, there is a change in user status from Pending to the last login date.

Change Email

User can change his/her personal email associated with his/her Thinkspace account any time for security reasons. After changing, email notifications will be sent to both old and new emails.

Change Password

User must provide the current password and a new password consisting of 8 to 32 characters, with at least 1 upper case, 1 lower case, 1 digit, 1 special character (.+*?^$()[]{}|\) without any space. Note that the current password cannot be reused as the new password.
