We should be woo'd and were not made to woo.

User Management is a Go!

By Ryan Campbell · May 8th, 2008

User Management is officially live in Wufoo, and we say that with both excitement and relief. Emails containing feature requests come to us daily, and not surprisingly User Management has been the most requested feature. Whether it’s small businesses wanting individual logins for each user, large companies hoping to separate their account by divisions, or design shops looking for an easier way to set up an account to each of their clients — everyone had a need for User Management. With all of these use cases in mind, we have been working with a single focus to implement the feature in a way that we feel would be flexible, easy to use and priced fairly. User management is available to all $24/month Bona Fide accounts and higher.

User Management

Specifically, User Management allows for multiple email addresses to log in to the same account. Each email address, or user, can be assigned Create, View and Edit permissions on Forms, Themes and Reports. So if we want to create a user with access to only one form, and nothing else, we can do it. At the same time, it may not be desirable to micromanage every person and so keeping that in consideration, we have built in a few helpful features:

  • By just checking off one box, you can flag a user as an Admin and grant them permissions to all resources.
  • You can duplicate a user so that their permissions are easily carried over to a new user with similar access levels
  • And whenever a user has permission to create something, they are automatically assigned permissions for that item, which prevents the Account Creator from having to go in and manually assign every item.

In addition to what’s mentioned here, you can read more about our User Management offering in our documentation. We’ve got big smiles on now that we’re finally able to show you our work, so check it out and please send us your feedback!
