Team management

Invite colleagues, assign roles, and delegate obligations to the right people in your organisation.

ObligoBoard is built for teams. You can invite colleagues, assign them roles, and delegate specific obligations to the people responsible for fulfilling them.

User roles

RoleAccess level
AdminFull access — manage frameworks, invite/remove team members, edit all obligations, generate reports, and manage billing
MemberCan update obligation statuses, add notes, and upload evidence. Cannot manage team or billing

The person who creates the organisation is automatically assigned the Admin role. Admins can promote other members to Admin.

Inviting team members

Go to Settings → Team

In the sidebar, click Settings, then select the Team tab.

Click 'Invite member'

Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.

Select their role

Choose Admin or Member depending on the access level they need.

Send the invitation

Click Send invite. The invitee receives an email with a link to join your organisation. The invite link is valid for 7 days.

Accepting an invitation

When a colleague invites you to join their organisation:

Check your email

Look for an invitation email from ObligoBoard.

Click the invitation link

The link takes you to ObligoBoard's sign-in page. If you don't have an account, you'll be prompted to create one.

You're in

After signing in, you'll be added to the organisation with the assigned role. If you have an existing account, you can switch between organisations using the org switcher in the sidebar.

Managing team members

From Settings → Team, admins can:

  • Change a member's role — use the role dropdown next to their name
  • Remove a member — click the remove button to revoke access immediately
  • Re-send an invitation — for pending invites, click Resend next to their entry

Removing a team member immediately revokes their access. Obligations assigned to them remain but are shown as unassigned. Reassign them as needed.

Assigning obligations to team members

Once your team is set up, you can assign obligations directly from the obligation detail view:

Open an obligation

Click any obligation from the Dashboard or Obligations page.

Use the 'Assignee' field

Click the assignee dropdown and select the team member responsible for this obligation.

Save

The assignment is saved immediately. The assigned member will receive an email notification (if notifications are enabled).

Switching Organisations

If you belong to multiple organisations, use the dropdown in the sidebar to switch between them. Each organisation has completely separate obligations, frameworks, and team members. Your last active organisation is remembered on next login.

Seat Limits

The number of team members you can invite depends on your plan:

PlanSeat limit
StarterUp to 5 team members per organisation
ProUp to 10 team members per organisation

Attempting to invite beyond your plan's seat limit shows an upgrade prompt. Upgrade from Settings --> Billing to add more seats.
