Team Members

The Team Members page is where you manage everyone who uses Supportomation. Each team member has a support role, capability flags that determine what work they can be assigned, and client group access that controls which tickets they can see.

Tip

Role Access Admin only. Admins can add, edit, deactivate, and archive team members. Lead and Member can view the team list but cannot make changes.

Getting There

  • Click Team in the sidebar
  • The Members tab is selected by default

Team members

Team Member List

The Members tab shows all active team members in a table. Each row displays:

ColumnDescription
NameFull name of the team member
EmailLogin email address
RoleSupport role: Admin, Lead, or Member
CapabilitiesIcons or badges indicating Can Support, Can Develop, or both
StatusActive or Inactive

Archived members are hidden from this list entirely. Use the filter or toggle to reveal them if needed.

Adding a Team Member

  1. Click the Add Member button at the top of the Members tab
  2. Fill in the required fields: name and email
  3. Set the Support Role (Admin, Lead, or Member)
  4. Enable at least one capability flag (see below)
  5. Assign the member to one or more Client Groups to control ticket visibility
  6. Click Save

The new team member will receive an invitation to set up their account.

Capability Flags

Every team member must have at least one capability enabled:

FlagWhat It Does
Can SupportThe member can be assigned as the support contact on tickets. Required for claiming tickets and responding to clients.
Can DevelopThe member can be assigned as the developer on Development tickets. Requires a JIRA Account ID for JIRA integration.

Members with both flags enabled can be assigned to either role on a ticket. When editing a team member, you can toggle these flags at any time.

Support Roles

Each team member is assigned exactly one support role that determines their permissions across the system:

RoleAccess Level
AdminFull system access including settings, team management, and all ticket operations
LeadDay-to-day ticket management, client responses, JIRA operations, and implementations
MemberRead-only access to tickets and views

For a full breakdown of what each role can do, see Roles & Permissions.

JIRA Account ID

Team members with the Can Develop capability should have their JIRA Account ID configured. This ID links the Supportomation member to their JIRA user account so that:

  • JIRA tickets can be assigned to them automatically
  • Assignee changes in JIRA sync back to Supportomation
  • Their JIRA workload is visible in the Workload tab

You can find a member’s JIRA Account ID in JIRA’s user management settings or by inspecting their JIRA profile URL.

Client Group Access

Each team member is assigned to one or more Client Groups. These groups control which clients’ tickets the member can see throughout the system, including the ticket list, dashboard, and triage view.

  • Assign the All Clients system group to give a member visibility into every client
  • Create custom groups for teams that only handle specific clients

Client group assignments are configured in the team member edit form. For more details on how groups work, see Client Groups.

Active / Inactive Toggle

Deactivating a team member removes them from assignment dropdowns and stops notifications without deleting their data:

  • Active: The member appears in all lists and can be assigned to tickets
  • Inactive: The member is hidden from assignment dropdowns and does not receive notifications, but their historical ticket assignments remain intact

To toggle a member’s status, open their edit form and change the Active switch. Inactive members still appear in the Members list with a visual indicator showing their status.

Archiving

Archiving goes a step further than deactivating. An archived member is completely hidden from the UI:

  • They do not appear in the Members list, assignment dropdowns, or workload views
  • Their historical data (ticket assignments, activity logs) is preserved in the database
  • Archiving is reversible — an Admin can unarchive a member to restore their visibility

Use archiving for team members who have left the organization or will not return. Use the inactive toggle for temporary absences.

Notification Preferences

Each team member can configure how they receive notifications. These preferences are set per member and control both email and Discord alerts:

PreferenceDescription
Email notificationsToggle email alerts for ticket assignments, client replies, completions, reopened tickets, and weekly summaries
Discord notificationsToggle Discord alerts for the same event types
Weekly summaryOpt in to receive a Monday morning summary email with assigned tickets, overdue items, and JIRA status

Notification preferences are configured in the team member edit form.

Preferred Locale

Each team member can set their preferred language. This setting controls:

  • The language of the Supportomation interface
  • Date and time formatting
  • Spellcheck language in the rich text editor

Supported locales: English (en), Spanish-Mexico (es-MX), Hindi (hi), Ukrainian (uk), and Vietnamese (vi).
