Managing user types and permission levels allows you to control, which sections users can access and which actions they can perform in ONLYOFFICE DocSpace. Once users are added to DocSpace, admins can manage them: sort and filter the user list to easily find the necessary user, edit the user info, change user types (promote or demote users), resend invitations, disable active users, and remove disabled users from DocSpace. Admins can also manage users within a certain room.
All DocSpace user accounts are listed in the Accounts section. Click the corresponding option in the left-side menu to open the user list.
When managing users in DocSpace, the available actions differ depending on the user type:
