Only admins can invite members, change roles, manage book access, and create teams.
Active users
The users table shows every active member in your company with their name, email, role, and book access.What you see depends on your role. Admins see every user in the company and every book each user has access to. Non-admins only see users they share at least one book with, and the Books column only lists books they share with that user. You always see yourself.
Auth method and 2FA
Admins see two extra columns for every user:- Auth method — how the user signs in. Shows Google or Microsoft (with the provider’s icon) for users signed in with those identity providers, or Password for users with email and password sign-in. A dash (-) means Slant could not determine the sign-in method.
- 2FA? — whether the user has two-factor authentication enabled on their account. Shows a Yes or No badge, or a dash (-) if the status is unavailable.
Change a user’s role
Each user has a role of either Admin or Member. Only admins can manage users, invitations, roles, book access, and teams. Members can manage their own profile and notifications, along with routine settings available to them, including company-wide customizations. To change a user’s role, click the role dropdown in the Status column and select Admin or Member.Manage book access
Each user’s books appear as badges in the Books column. To remove a user from a book, click the on the book badge and confirm. To add a user to a book, click Add to book at the top of the page, then select the user and the books to grant access to.You cannot remove a user from a book they own (their principal book).

If your firm is part of a larger group and you’ve been given access to more than one firm’s Slant account, your firms are listed at the top of the account menu — the button with your firm’s logo at the top of the sidebar. The firm you’re currently working in shows a checkmark. Select another firm to switch your entire workspace to that firm, including its books, clients, and settings.Access, admin rights, books, and teams are separate for each firm. Being an admin in one firm does not make you an admin in another. Access to more than one firm is set up by Slant support — admins cannot grant it themselves.
