Managing Extern Users Made Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide! 👥

Updated this week

Hello lemlisters! 👋

Looking to manage extern users and grant them access to reports? You’re in the right place! Let’s break it down step-by-step to make the process seamless for you. 😊


Granting Report Access to Extern Users 📊

When inviting an extern user, you can simplify their experience with password-less login. This feature allows them to access campaign reports with just their email—no password required.

How to Invite an Extern User:

1️⃣ Go to Plans & Billings and click the Invite Extern User option

2️⃣ Enable the password-less login feature by checking the "Allow access to lemlist" box.

💡 Important Note: Without password-less login, extern users can connect their email provider and/or LinkedIn account but won’t have access to lemlist features or reports.


Report Access Rules for Extern Users 🔑

  • Active Seats Only: Report access is exclusive to extern users with an active paid seat. If an extern user doesn’t have a seat, they won’t be able to view reports.

  • Campaign Senders Only: Extern users must be senders of campaigns to access reporting features.


Invitation Process for Extern Users ✉️

After inviting an extern user, they’ll receive an email with two important links:

1️⃣ Connect Email & LinkedIn: Used for setting up their accounts.

2️⃣ Access Reports: Grants access to campaign reports.

💡 Pro Tip: Extern users cannot view reports using the first link. Ensure they use the second link for report access.

Setup Steps for Extern Users:

1️⃣ Enter Verification Code: Provided in their invitation email.

2️⃣ Connect Email Provider:

  • If already connected, they’ll be asked if they want to update it.

  • If not connected, they can proceed to link their LinkedIn account.

3️⃣ Link LinkedIn Profile:

  • Download the lemlist Chrome Extension if their team plan supports LinkedIn actions.

  • Open the extension to link their LinkedIn account to their lemlist profile.

💡 If the wrong LinkedIn account is connected, it can be unlinked via the Chrome extension or by an admin in Plans & Billings.

The connection link is fully secure and remains valid for three days.

If your client doesn't complete the procedure within this time frame, the link expires. You'll need to resend a new link from your cockpit, and I'll show you how to do that shortly.

Managing Extern Users in Your Cockpit 🔧

Use your cockpit to manage extern user permissions effectively. Here’s what you can do:

  • Grant or Revoke Report Access:

    • Closed Lock: Externs won’t have report access.

    • Open Lock: Externs can access their campaign reports.

Resend Secure Connection Link:

  • The connection link is valid for three days. If it expires, resend it from the cockpit.

Edit Extern User Settings:

  • Update custom tracking domains, limits, or email signatures

Remove an Extern User:

  • Remove users from your team when needed.
