Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the active contributors in my organization and what teams are they on?
You can view all active contributors in the main table within the 'Settings' > 'Teams / Users' section. This table lists their names, last activity, last login, and the teams they are assigned to.
How many contributors are currently active versus my plan's limit?
An indicator at the top of the contributor table, e.g., 'Contributors: 7 of 10', displays your current number of active users against your organization's allowed plan limit.
How can I create new teams or modify existing team structures?
To create a new team, click the 'Create team +' button in the left panel. To modify an existing team, click the pencil icon next to its name in the left panel to edit its members or settings.
Can I assign different roles (e.g., Admin, Manager) to individual contributors?
Yes, for each contributor in the main table, click the pencil icon under the 'ACTIONS' column to edit their details and assign specific roles like 'Admin' or 'Manager'.
How do I enable or disable a contributor's access to devActivity.com?
In the 'ACTIONS' column for each contributor, there's a toggle switch that allows you to easily enable or disable their account access to the devActivity.com platform.
Is it possible to invite external personnel (like a client's project manager) to view reports without granting them full internal access?
Absolutely. Click the 'Invite External Manager' button to generate an invitation for external stakeholders to gain view-only access to devActivity reports, allowing them to track progress without full administrative privileges.
What is the process for syncing user data with our connected GitHub repositories?
Simply click the 'Sync with GitHub' button located above the contributor table. This will update and refresh your contributor list based on your integrated GitHub account, ensuring your user data is current.
