We’re improving your user management experience

Account section is the central location for managing your organization on BrowserStack. If you need to manage your personal profile, manage users and their access, view settings and permissions, check usage and billing, then visit Account – it’s all there!

What’s changing?

We are continuously working on the feedback of our customers to improve the User Management experience on BrowserStack. Organization page is the central location from where you invite new users and manage access (Role, Team, or Product) of existing users.

We’re rolling out changes to make User Management seamless for the Owner or Admins who manage multiple users (and their access) in their organization on BrowserStack. For phase one, all customers across all plans – Free, Standard, and Enterprise – will see a change to the Organization page designs. This change affects the User list visible under the Manage Users section.

Later, in the next phases, you’ll see more changes upcoming. Please stay tuned!

Why are we doing this?

We want your User Management experience to be:

  • Simple: We want to make sure it’s simple and easy to manage users across all BrowserStack products.
  • Scalable: Whether you’re managing 10 or 1000 users, we want the experience to be seamless for you.
  • Fast: Whatever task you need to perform you can do it in a quick manner.

New user list

User list contains all your users that are added to your organization. The new user list has a refreshed view - Compared with the previous design, we’ve simplified the information that is visible about your users, and made it easier to manage users by adding filter, search and sort functionality.

Note: Teams is a feature only available on Enterprise plan.

List of changes

  1. Filters: We have introduced filters to allow you to filter specific users from the entire user list. You can use Status, Role, Team or Product Access filters. More details are mentioned in the next section.

  2. Invited users: Members that have not accepted the invitation sent to them (by other team members via Email) will be listed as <Pending Invitation>. Once they accept the invite sent to them and join the team, they will become part of your Organization account on BrowserStack and can get started with testing. In order to view list of these users:
    • Click Status filter
    • Select Pending
  3. Inline Edit: Edit Role, Team, or Product access for any member in the user list. You can modify access for both active as well as pending members.

  4. Search: You can search members from the user list by typing the name or email in the search box.

  5. Modify access: Modify multiple access (Role, Team or Product) for any member in the user list.
