Users

A user’s role decides what they can do, and it is assigned per project. The same person can be a Test Lead on one project and read-only on another.

Roles

Role	Can do
Account Administrator	Everything a Super Administrator can, plus billing information for the account
Super Administrator	Complete control over a project, without account or billing information
Test Manager	Manage several projects, including assigning users, and adding applications and versions in each
Test Lead	Manage everything in the assigned project, including its applications and versions
Automation Engineer/Developer	Write, view, and update test cases, and everything test cases need: test data profiles, elements, custom functions
Read Only	View a project’s contents without changing anything

Add a user

There are 2 routes. Settings assigns several projects at once, and project settings adds someone to the project you are in.

• From Settings: go to Settings > Users, click Add new user, enter the Email, select the projects to assign and the role for each, and click Send Invite
• From a project: go to Project > Project Settings > Project Members, click Invite, enter the Email, select the Role, and click Invite

Note

The project route offers only Test Manager, Test Lead, and Automation Engineer/Developer. Assigning a Super Administrator or an Account Administrator has to happen from Settings > Users.

The invited user gets an email and has to join through its link before the role takes effect. Until then they are listed on the Users page with the status Invited, and Resend Invite beside their name sends it again.

Invite a read-only user

A read-only user sees a project without being able to change it, which suits a stakeholder who wants visibility rather than involvement.

1. Go to Settings > Users and click Add new user.

2. Enter the user’s address in Email.

3. Select the Read Only checkbox.

4. Click Send Invite.

Invite sent successfully confirms it, and the user appears under Users as Invited.

Change a user’s role or projects

1. Go to Settings > Users.

2. Hover over the user and click the ellipsis icon ⋮.

3. Click Edit User Role.

4. Select the roles and projects in the Edit User Role / Assign Projects dialog, and click Update.

This is also how you assign an existing user to another project, rather than inviting them again.

Remove a user from a project

Only a Super Administrator can remove users.

1. Go to Project > Project Settings > Project Members.

2. Hover over the user and click Delete.

3. Enter DELETE in the Delete Member dialog and click Delete.

The same can be done from Settings > Users for a user across the account.

Review management

Reviewers are assigned per test case and per element rather than by role, so any user can be a reviewer. See Review management.

Control who can stop executions

By default anyone can stop any run, which makes an accidental stop easy and disruptive. Control Who Can Stop Executions, under Settings > Preferences, restricts that.

With it on:

• Account Administrators and Super Administrators can stop any execution, from Usage Details or Run Results
• Test Managers, Test Leads, and Automation Engineers see every execution but can stop only the ones they started themselves

Anyone else has to ask a Super Administrator to halt a run.

Note

The toggle is off by default and may not appear at all. Contact support@testsigma.com or use instant chat to have it enabled for your account.

Guest access

The Testsigma support team can be given temporary access to the account, and it is granted separately from user roles. See Guest access.
