Approving new users

Use the Pending Members list to approve, deny, or deactivate new user requests. Select users to activate the available actions and manage who joins your organization.

Updated over a week ago

When someone creates a FlowHawk account and selects your organization during signup, they appear as a Pending Member until an Organization Manager approves them. This ensures only authorized users gain access to your organization's data.


How Users Become Pending Members

During the signup process, new users:

  1. Create a FlowHawk account

  2. Select the organization they belong to

As soon as they select your organization, their account is added to your Pending Members list. They cannot access organization Cases or Rooms until approved.

Manager Notifications

All Organization Managers receive an email alert that a new person is requesting access. The user remains in a "waiting for approval" state until a manager takes action.


Viewing Pending Members

The Pending Members list works similarly to the Approved Members list. Each person who selected your organization during signup appears in this list until an Organization Manager takes action.

To begin managing requests, you must use the checkbox next to the user’s name.

How to Access Pending Members

  1. Open the Admin Portal

  2. Select Users

  3. Click Pending Members

You’ll see a list of all users waiting for approval.


Managing Pending Membership Requests

Actions become available only after you check one or more boxes next to the users you want to manage. Once at least one user is selected, three buttons appear at the top of the list:

  • Approve Membership Request

  • Deny Membership Requests

  • Deactivate Accounts

Each action is explained below.


Approving Membership Requests

Use this option to add selected users to your organization.

Steps

  3. Confirm the action.

Once approved:

  • Users move to the Approved Members list

  • They gain access to cases based on workflow rules, team membership, and individual assignments


Denying Membership Requests

Use this option when a user should not be added to your organization.

Steps

  1. Select one or more users.

  2. Click Deny Membership Requests.

  3. Confirm the action.

Once denied:

  • The user is not added to your organization

  • They remain outside your data

  • They may select another organization or retry signup if they made an error


Deactivating Accounts

You can fully deactivate accounts for users who should not have FlowHawk access at all.

Steps

  1. Select one or more pending users.

  2. Click Deactivate Accounts.

  3. Confirm the deactivation.

Deactivated users:

  • Cannot log in
