* Ability to add new users and manage teams

### Email Invitation and First Login

Once the user is added:

* They will receive an email with their username and a system-generated password.
* On first login, the system will enforce a password change.
* After successful login:
  * If the user is a Super Admin, they will land directly in the global workspace area.
  * If the user is not a Super Admin, they will only see workspaces linked to their assigned teams.

***

### What If a User Sees an Empty Screen?

If the user:

* Is not assigned to any team, or
* Their team is not linked to a workspace

They will see an empty view with no accessible workspaces.

To fix this, make sure:

* The user is assigned to at least one team
* That team is linked to a workspace\


***

### Role Resolution Across Teams

If a user is added to multiple teams that are part of the same workspace, and has different roles in each team, Savah will use the highest role level for that workspace.

&#x20;Example:

* Team A → Role: Team Member
* Team B → Role: PI Admin
* Both teams are added to Workspace X

The user will be treated as a PI Admin in Workspace X.



***

### Best Practices for Onboarding Users

* Assign each new user to at least one team
* Ensure that the team is linked to a workspace
* Clearly define roles while assigning to teams
* Use Super Admin status sparingly and only when necessary
