- Select Account from the drop-down menu. This will open the Accounts page.
- Click My Team on the left side of the accounts page.

-
Select Viewer to grant the user viewing access.
-
Select No Access to prevent the team member from accessing the tool.
- Select Invite to send an e-mail invitation to each of your new colleagues. Once users have accepted your invitation, they will be immediately added to your team and gain access to all of your team projects.
Important
Users who already have their own paid subscription to MeisterTask CANNOT join your team.
If one of your colleagues already has a Pro or Business License, they will first have to downgrade to a basic account in order to accept your invitation.
Adding New Users to a Paid (Pro or Business) Team
When team admins add a new user to their team, they'll receive an invoice notifying them that they have 7 days to complete the payment. If the payment is not received after these 7 days, the new user's account will be disabled. The rest of the team will remain active.
As soon as the invitees have accepted your invitation, they will be immediately added to your team. You can edit, disable or remove team members from the My Team section of the Accounts page. Find out more here.
Assign Team Admin role
This feature is only available to Team Admins on the Business plan.
Teams with a Business subscription can have multiple Team Admins in their team. An existing Team Admin can also assign any other person the role Team Admin.
Each admin can change the team role of the team members at any time. Team roles have no influence on the subscription costs.
To make a user a Team Admin:
- Open the My Teams page in Accounts.
- Search for the user in your list who you’d like to promote to Team Admin.
- Click on the small gray arrow next to “Member” to open the drop-down menu.
- Select Admin.
Change a user’s product seat
Team Admins can adjust their team members’ product seats to control access and make best use of their teams’ paid seats.
- View-only access = Viewer: To give a user read-only access, select Viewer. This will apply to all projects and notes the user has been invited to.
- Editing access = Content Manager: To give someone editing access, select the Content Manager
Teams with a Pro or Business subscription
Product seats determine whether a team member uses one of your team’s paid seats.
- The Content Manager is a paid seat.
- The Viewer seat is free.
To assign the Content Manager or Viewer product seat:
- Open the My Team’s page in Account.
- Find the user and the right product, MeisterTask or MindMeister.
- Click the small gray arrow to open the drop-down menu.
- Select Content Manager or Viewer.
Remove a team member from the team
If you want to remove a user from the team, there are three options:
- Option a: Remove access to both MeisterTask AND MindMeister by setting their team role to Inactive
- Option b: Remove access to MeisterTask OR MindMeister by changing their access to No Access
- Option c: Completely detach the person's account from your team by Removing the account from your team.
To offboard a user who is leaving your company and therefore your team, use Option a:
- Open the My Team page in Account
- Find the user and the right product, MeisterTask or MindMeister.
- Click the small gray arrow to open the drop-down menu in the column Team Role.
- Click Inactive.
Pending invitations
If you have invited a new user to join your team, they must accept the invitation before they are added to the team.
All invitations that have been sent but not yet accepted by the users can be found in the Pending Invitations tab.
Sent invitations are valid for 14 days. After that, the invitation is automatically deleted.
You can delete an invitation at any time by clicking the X next to your invitee's e-mail address.
