The Team Tab

The Team tab is where you invite teammates, set what each person can do, assign the sites they work on, and manage or remove accounts in this workspace.

What the Team tab is for

Open the dashboard and go to Team. The page lists everyone in the workspace with a green or gray dot for online or offline, their name, email, job title, and role. If your workspace belongs to a larger organization, a "Part of <Org>" banner sits at the top with a link to the organization view, where you can see people across every workspace.

Anyone can open the Team tab, but only owners and admin-tier roles see the management controls. Regular agents see the list without the invite button or the Edit profile controls.

Inviting a teammate

Click + Invite agent in the top right to open the invite form, then:

1. Enter the teammate's Email and Name.
2. Pick a Role. A short description under the dropdown explains what the selected role can do.
3. Click Send invitation. The person gets an email with a link to set their password and join.

If you already created someone as an HR-only employee stub on the Employees page, the form shows a "Pick from existing employees" dropdown. Choosing one auto-fills and locks the email and name, and the button changes to Send promotion invite. Promoting an existing employee preserves their HR record (salary, shift, slips) instead of creating a duplicate. Clear the picker to invite a brand-new email instead.

Pending and past invitations

Below the agent list, admins see two sections. Pending invitations lists invites that have not been accepted yet, each with the role, an expiry date, and a preview link. For each pending invite you can:

• Resend the invitation email.
• Revoke it, which stops the link from working.

A Recent invitations section shows the last few invites with a status pill: Pending, Accepted, Revoked, or Expired.

Roles and what each can do

Every teammate has one role that sets their permissions:

• Owner: total control. Can manage everyone, promote and demote any role, hand out Compliance authority, and change every setting. Owners always see visitor contact info and have every module.
• Admin: full management. Can invite teammates, configure the workspace, and access all modules. Admins can manage agent-role accounts but cannot promote anyone to Owner or edit other admin-tier teammates.
• Agent: handles chats and the modules assigned to them. No management access.
• Viewer: read-only. See the Viewer section below.

The invite form also offers a few admin-tier variants: Marketeer(admin-level monitoring access, with Chat, Tickets, and Insights by default), Networking (admin-level access for mail, sender domains, and site domains, for the person who handles email infra and DNS), and Compliance (a workspace-scoped officer who can delete chat and Messenger messages in this workspace and view the moderation audit log, but cannot manage sites, agents, billing, or integrations). Compliance and Owner can only be granted by an owner.

A super-admin is a platform-level account that appears when ZenTalk provides oversight for your account. It is not a role you assign from this page; it unlocks the credential tools described under Security.

The read-only Viewer role

Viewer is a read-only observer. A Viewer can view site details, visitor history, and inbox conversations for the sites they are assigned, but cannot reply, join chats, change settings, or delete anything. Because the role grants no write access, admins as well as owners can assign it. Use it for stakeholders who need to watch conversations without acting on them.

Editing a teammate: the Edit profile modal

Each row has an Edit profile button that opens one modal holding all the controls for that person. Which sections appear depends on your role and theirs. Inside the modal you can:

• Role: change the person's role from the dropdown. You cannot change your own role, and the list only offers roles you are allowed to grant.
• Reports to: pick this person's reporting lead, or choose "No lead". See Reporting structure.
• Visitor contact info: for agent-role accounts, toggle whether they see visitor email and phone or a masked version. The button reads Visible or Hidden.
• Access: set the person's job title and check the modules they can use, then click Save title or Save modules. Owner targets have every module implicitly, and you cannot edit your own modules.
• Monthly sales target: click Open target to set or review this agent's target.

Click Done or the close control to leave the modal.

Reporting structure and leads

The "Reports to" field builds a simple reporting line. When you set a lead for someone, that person's row shows "Reports to <name>", and anyone with at least one direct report gets a Lead badge. The system keeps people in the same workspace, blocks assigning someone to themselves, and prevents reporting cycles.

Login email, passwords, and 2FA

The Edit profile modal also holds account and security actions, shown only to the people allowed to use them:

• Login email (Founder only): the founder can change the address a teammate logs in with. It takes effect for future logins only, so the person keeps working uninterrupted, and past records keep the old address.
• Send reset email (super-admin): emails the teammate the standard password-reset link, the same one they would get from "forgot password".
• Set password (super-admin): sets a new password effective immediately. The password must be at least 10 characters with a digit or symbol, and it is shown in clear so you can copy it. The teammate is signed out everywhere and must use the new password to log back in.
• Revoke 2FA (owner): wipes a teammate's two-factor secret so they can re-enroll on their next login. Use this when someone loses their authenticator.

Deactivating and removing a teammate

In the Edit profile modal, the Remove from workspacesection removes the account. Click Remove and confirm. Access is revoked immediately, but their conversations and tickets stay in place; only the account is removed. Owners can remove anyone except themselves, and admins can remove agent-role teammates.
