You can also add a user to teams from the user admin Users view in several ways. See Adding a user to a team and Adding multiple users to multiple teams for more information.
Handling pending requests to join a team
Users can be invited to see Test results, for example, by receiving an invitation in email or Slack when a test batch is completed. In the invitation, the user can request access and then a team member with Admin rights can allow or deny access.
To allow or deny access to invited users:

Public access to team test results
By default, only team members can access test results. If you need to give team access to any registered Eyes users, including users outside your organization, contact Customer Support to make team access public.
Setting user permissions
When you add users to a team, Eyes provides them with default user permissions. You can modify the user permissions as required. There are two types of user permissions: Edit/View only and Admin. You set the permission level by either selecting or deselecting the permission options on the Members tab of the Team information view.
You can set the following types of user permissions:
- Edit/View only
- When the View only toggle is disabled for a user, then the user has full access, meaning they are allowed to run tests and save changes to the baseline. When the View only toggle is enabled the user can only view the results. Eyes prevents them from making changes or saving to the baseline.
- Admin
- When this option is enabled for a user, they have Team admin rights, which means they can add and remove users and enable or disable permissions. Being a team Admin does not grant users Account Admin permissions which allow them to create and remove teams.
To set user permissions:
-
On the Admin panel, click on the Teams tile.
-
On the Members tab, set the View only and Admin options as required.
-
Click Save changes .
Blocking a team from using Eyes
You can block a team from using Eyes by disabling the team on the Team information view.
To block a team from using Eyes:
-
On the Admin panel, click on the Teams tile.
-
On the Settings tab, deselect the Enabled setting.
Click Save changes .
Integrating Eyes with third party platforms
To integrate Eyes with third-party platforms, you need to configure the application to communicate with Eyes. Part of the configuration is performed by selecting the integration type from the Integrations tab on the Team information view of a given team. See Integrating Eyes with third party platforms for more information.
