Managing Your Nitro Team Account

Assigning Nitro Licenses

Adding Users Manually

  1. Invite individual users (one at a time) or invite multiple users at the same time by uploading a .CSV file.
  2. Your Nitro Admin should log in to the Nitro Admin Portal and select Users from the left-hand menu; then select Invite Users.

  • Global Admin: Ability to invite, suspend, and delete users from the Team Account.
  • Document Admin: Ability to add Team documents and templates that can be accessed by all members of the Team Account.
