Do you manage a big Gimlet account? Does the thought of adding — or, heavens forbid — removing a staff person from your account fill you with a creeping dread?

No surprise: If you’re in charge of an account with dozens or hundreds of staff, this process can be more than a little awkward. Today we’ve got something new for you:

Yep, that’s right: A real user management system.

Now, when you sign in as an administrator and head to your Account menu, you’ll see a new People tab. From there, you can see everyone in your account, search by email, and filter to the list of people with access to specific branches.

When you head in to ⛭ Edit to change someone’s login, you’ll get a list of all your branches, and whether this person has access to each one. You can either toggle each one individually, or use a button to remove Gimlet access for someone in one click.

Finally! We’ve added a few quality-of-life improvements for folk with more complex needs:

  • Administrators no longer need to be a member of any branches — so you can have people who can just administer the site and not enter data.
  • We’ve added a new Billing Contact role. As you might suspect, billing contacts will get messages about invoices and the like.

To start off, all account administrators have been marked as billing contacts, but you’re free to change that.

Here’s hoping that this will make your lives easier!
