Invite internal users

  1. To get started, go to Settings ⚙️ → Invite & Manage Users

  2. Click Invite New Internal User, then enter their first and last name, and email address.

When inviting a user, you can also:

  • Allow access all chatrooms across the platform

  • Add a welcome message

Note: This section is for inviting internal team members only. To invite a client, add them as a contact first, then invite them to the workspace from the Client Portal.

Modifying users

Edit a user

  1. Go to Settings ⚙️ → Invite & Manage Users

  2. Click Edit next to the user

  3. Update their job title or hourly rate and hourly cost as needed

  4. Change their role using the role dropdown

  5. Toggle on any additional permissions:

    • Can view and edit all smartdocs created in the organization

    • Can delete files and folders

    • Access to all chat rooms (without this, the user can only access chat rooms they created)

Hourly Rate vs. Hourly Cost

  • Hourly rate: what you charge the client per hour

  • Hourly cost: what the team member costs you internally (salary or overhead)

Hubflo uses both values to calculate profitability in project reports: revenue is based on the rate, cost on the internal cost, and the difference is your margin.

Revoke access

For security reasons, user removal is handled by the Hubflo Support team. This ensures that records tied to the user are properly transferred to an owner before the account is deactivated.

To remove a user, contact Hubflo Support.
