User management
Any user can easily be invited to the platform, all you need is their email. Setting their Role or adding them to a User group is optional but highly encouraged.
Watch our demo to see how to invite a user
User details
Within each user’s page there are 4 sections:
![]()
Hierarchy of permissions
︎ Assigning Roles to users are recommended over adding individual resources, unless necessary.
The recommended order of places to set up permissions to enable bulk editing in the future:
Users will inherit permissions from the role assigned and group joined, however whichever source of permission with the highest level of the access will be applied to the user.

User details
Within each user’s page there are 4 sections:
- User profile – details such as name, password, or deactivating this user.
- Permissions – sets the actions and access the user can have or do.
- User groups – option to add the user to a group of people with the same permissions, if a user is added they will inherit those permissions too.
- Roles – option to assign a role to the user, which is a collection of permissions and will make it easier to update multiple users’ permission in the future if all linked to the same role.

︎ Assigning Roles to users are recommended over adding individual resources, unless necessary.
The recommended order of places to set up permissions to enable bulk editing in the future:
- Roles – a group of permissions.
- User group – a group of users with the same permissions.
- User – a group of permissions only applied to the particular user.
Users will inherit permissions from the role assigned and group joined, however whichever source of permission with the highest level of the access will be applied to the user.
Types of resources
1. Across-application
These permissions will apply to everything within Skand. They will override any lower permissions that have been set for the user at an individual level.

What are Roles?
Roles are a collection of permissions. The permissions vary for each type of resource; for example, Files (admin, delete, move, write, read) will have more granular settings than User Management (admin, read).
