USERS & ROLES
Users
Invite people with a role and a one-time password setup link. Admins manage all settings. Managers and Team Leads review changes. Engineers submit changes. Viewers can only view.
Demo accounts
Creates sample accounts so you can show how ShiftOrbit works for each role: one Manager for every manager in the on-call rotation (linked automatically), a Team Lead, one team member for every team (using a free calendar profile, or a temporary one that’s removed afterwards) and a Viewer. They sign in like anyone else (password, then MFA set-up the first time) and are tagged Demo. Remove them all in one step when you’re done.
