Workspace members

Sources

Docs: Login, Switch Workspaces Web App: People lists the Workspace’s members. People with permission to invite see Invite User. People with permission to manage members can open a member’s status badge for its status actions, and the row menu for Edit Roles; resending an invite also takes permission to invite. Your own row has neither.

Invite status

Each row’s status badge carries an icon and a color. A member without access (Expired or Suspended) shows in red. An invite sends an email with a link that joins the Workspace. Until the person opens it, their row shows the invite’s state: Opening an expired link and choosing Continue to Parable shows “This sign-in link is invalid or has expired.” and does not join the Workspace.

Resend an invite

Open a Pending member’s status badge and choose Resend, or Reinvite for an Expired one; both do the same thing. Parable emails the same link again and sets it to expire seven days after the resend, so the row returns to Pending and the link works. A link from an earlier email works again too, because it is the same link. Revoke, in the same menu, cancels the invite and the person’s pending membership: the link stops working for good and the person leaves the list. It does not sign them out of Parable: they never joined this Workspace, and they stay signed in to any other Workspace they belong to.

Suspend, reactivate, or revoke a member

Suspend pauses a member’s access: they are signed out of Parable at once, in every Workspace and on every device, and cannot sign back in to this one. They stay in the list with their roles. Reactivate gives a Suspended member their access back at once, with no email. An invite to a Suspended member’s email is refused; reactivate them instead. Revoke removes a member: an Active or Suspended member is signed out of Parable at once, in every Workspace and on every device, any invite of theirs is canceled, and they leave the list. To bring them back, invite their email again with Invite User. They return as Pending with the roles chosen in the invite, not their earlier ones, and a new invite email. A Mac that enrolled in Parable Pulse as the member stops sending activity within about a minute of a suspend or revoke. It sends again when the member is active again, with no new enrollment. To stop a Mac for good, revoke it on Protection → Macs.

Edit roles

Choose Edit Roles from a member’s row menu to change their roles, whatever their status. A Pending or Expired member gets the new roles when they join. Editing roles sends no email and leaves the invite and its expiry as they were. Your own row has no Edit Roles.
