Users and roles
Who can do what in Email Marketing, approval before sending, and custom roles.
Go to Users. Only an Admin can invite people and change roles.
Email Marketing is priced by contacts, not by users. The people on your team don't count against your plan.
Roles
| Role | What they can do | Sends mailings | Downloads contacts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin | Everything: mailings, contacts, sending accounts, settings, users and the plan | Yes | Yes |
| Manager | Mailings, contacts and campaigns, and approves the Marketers' mailings | Yes | Yes |
| Marketer | Writes mailings, and manages contacts, lists and forms | When approval is off | No |
| Viewer | Sees mailings and reports. Changes nothing | No | No |
The business owner is always an Admin. A role in another Ellibo app gives no access to Email Marketing.
Invite someone
Enter their email and choose a role, then click Invite. They get an email to join. You can cancel an invitation that hasn't been accepted.
To change a role, choose another beside their name. No access removes them from Email Marketing.
Approval before sending
On Standard and up, an Admin can turn on Marketers' mailings wait for a Manager to approve them before they go under Settings > Preferences.
- A Marketer writes a mailing and clicks Send or Schedule. It waits for approval.
- Managers and Admins are told on the bell, and by email if that's turned on.
- A Manager or Admin opens it, and approves it or sends it back with a note.
- Once approved, it goes now or at the scheduled time.
With approval off, Marketers send their own mailings.
Custom roles
On Professional and up, go to Settings > Custom roles and make roles from these rights. Everyone with a role can see mailings and reports.
- write mailings, templates, campaigns and forms
- add, import and change contacts and lists
- send and schedule mailings, and approve others' mailings
- download contacts
- connect sending accounts and domains
- change Email Marketing settings, but not users or the plan
If you delete a custom role, or your plan no longer has custom roles, the people in it get no more than a Marketer can do.
Plan & Billing
Admins manage the plan under Plan & Billing. See Free trial and plans.
