This section describes how you can manage access to your account, who counts towards your subscription plan size, and the different permission levels people can have.
Additionally, you can find out what you should do when someone leaves your company or no longer needs access to the account.
Administrators in your account have the ability to control access and cost through the number of people you are managing in your account.
Administer and add people
To add a person, you are required to include the first name, last name, and permission level. Other attributes are optional. You can invite them to the account immediately, or invite them later by going to theirProfile>Edit Profile>Send Invitiation.
In order to notify the recipient, you must include the recipient’s email address and selectInvite this user. By selecting the invite this user check box, you will enable login access for that team member.
People who have received or accepted an invitation count towards the number of Licensed Users in your subscription.
You can also add team members who do not have access to your account asManaged Resources. These people count toward the number of Managed Resources in your subscription.
Add multiple people at once
You can add multiple people by preparing a list in a spreadsheet program and importing that information into Resource Management. In the spreadsheet, fill out first and last names, email addresses, permission levels, disciplines, and roles for each person you want to add.
The permission levels, disciplines, and roles in this list must match your account settings for people.

Manage freelancers or contractors
If you want freelancers to track their time on projects, you can invite them and give them a login, like other people in your account. You pay for Licensed Users with logins, so once the job is complete, you can archive that freelancer and use their license for someone else. Some customers have a few rotating seats designated for freelancer use.
If you do not need to account for the time freelancers spend and want to track their cost to the project, add them as an expense against the project budget.

Managed Resources
Managed Resources cannot log in, view, or track time in Resource Management, but adding them creates a clear picture of the capacity of your group, allowing you to forecast risk and hiring needs.
You can create resources to represent meeting rooms or equipment. This way, you know when certain meeting rooms are booked and when certain pieces of equipment will be unavailable.
If you use the Smartsheet integration, each Managed Resource needs an email address associated with it.
For each resource that's not a team member, create a placeholder email address like truck1@yourcompany.com, truck2@yourcompany.com, etc.
The email address doesn't have to be provisioned by IT or validated; you can track team members (or resources) who haven't accepted an invitation,
存档, Modify, or Delete People
When someone leaves your company, or they no longer need access to Resource Management, you should archive that person.
About Archiving People
You can archive Licensed Users and Managed Resources.
Archiving a person:
- Prevents them from accessing Resource Management
- Removes them from team members on your Organization Page
- Removes them from the Schedule
存档人继续作业Project Page so a project manager can reassign any remaining work to another person or placeholder.
Resource Management saves all data for the archived person.
You can see a list of archived people in the People section of Account Settings. When you archive someone, they no longer count towards the number of Licensed Users or Managed Resources in your account.
If you regularly have contractors or temporary people who work for your organization, invite them at Contractor permission level. Set their start and end date in the Availability section of their personal profile. When they finish the project, archive them in Account Settings to revoke their access to Resource Management.
You can have a rotating group of contractor seats in Resource Management, providing temporary access to contractors and vendors on a per-project basis.
存档d users who don't have a First and Last day of work defined will continue to appear in analytics and reports. If you want to exclude an archived user from reports, Unarchive them, add a First and Last day of work in the past, then Archive them again.
Change a person's role
When you change person's role, you lose all the data associated with their prior role. If you want to keep their data, it's best to archive them first, then reinvite them to Resource Management using the same email address.
- 存档the person first (see below). The archive gives you historical reporting for that role and any reporting fields.
- Add the person again, using the same email from the previous role, updated the new role and any updated fields.

User licenses and subscriptions in Resource Management
Licensed users
Licensed Users can log in and access the product.
Depending on theirpermission level,licensed users can have varying levels of access to track and/or approve time, plan projects, manage staffing and schedule, add or modify user profiles, and report on resource management data. Only Licensed Users cantrack time on projects.
Managed Resources
Managed Resources cannot log in and access the product.
Managed Resources are the people (or other assets, like conference rooms or equipment) you assign to projects and manage their overall resourcing schedule. Managed Resources cannot track time or access resource management data.
Even without login access, it is helpful to have Managed Resources because it centralizes your talent pool so you can better answer questions such as what projects are people working on, who is over-capacity, who is available, what skills do we need to hire, who is on PTO, and many more!
