Case

I added someone to a team but they can't access anything

Team membership alone grants no permission. A team records who works together; permission comes from roles.

For: Tenant administrator, Member

What happened

You added a person to a team on the Teams screen. The person can't open the screens the team's other members can open and sees messages saying they don't have access.

Why it happens

A team gathers a tenant's own people into a named group. It says who works with whom but gives nobody a key. In inlorus, permission comes only from role assignments.

What inlorus does

  • It keeps adding to a team separate from permission: adding someone to or removing them from a team doesn't change their tenant membership or roles.
  • It says so plainly on the Teams screen: “Team membership alone grants no permission. Permission comes from roles and is given on the Roles screen.”

What you do

  1. Decide what the person needs to do.
  2. On the tenant's Roles screen, give the person the role that carries that job's keys.
  3. Ask the person to refresh the page and try again.

How to keep it from happening again

  • When adding someone to a team, check that their role also fits that job.
