Managing Users and Workspaces in Enterprise

With the Enterprise Plan, you gain access to powerful collaboration features — including a dedicated Admin Console to manage users and shared workspaces (previously referred to as “teams”). This structure ensures visibility, clean access control, and scalable monitoring for organizations of any size.

This guide walks you through:

  • Adding and managing users
  • Creating and managing workspaces
  • Assigning user roles and workspace access

Accessing the Admin Console

To begin managing users and workspaces:

  1. Navigate to your Watchlist dashboard
  2. Click the gear icon in the lower-left corner
  3. Select “Admin Console” from the menu

Only Admin-level users can access this section.

Managing Users

Viewing and Removing Users

Under the Users tab in the Admin Console, you’ll find:

  • A list of existing users
  • Their email addresses
  • Their roles (Admin/User)
  • Options to Remove users when necessary

User Management Interface

Adding a New User

  1. Click “+ Add New User”
  2. Fill out:
    • Full Name
    • Email ID
    • Choose Role: User or Admin
    • Select which Teams (Workspaces) they should be added to
  3. Click Add User

Add User Form

Admins can manage both users and workspaces. Users can only access monitors inside their assigned workspaces.


Managing Workspaces

Workspaces are the foundation for collaborative monitoring in Distill. Each workspace contains its own Watchlist, permissions, and members.

Viewing Existing Workspaces

Navigate to the Teams tab (label may still show as “Teams” in some UI sections):

  • View all workspaces by name
  • See how many members each has
  • Options to:
    • Export Watchlist (download monitor data)
    • Delete a workspace

Team Management Overview

Creating a New Workspace

To set up a new workspace:

  1. Click “+ Add New Team”
  2. Enter a descriptive name for your new workspace (e.g., “Finance Team”)
  3. Click Create New Team

We recommend using meaningful workspace names that match business functions or departments.


Managing Workspace Members

After creating a workspace:

  • Click its name to enter the Manage Team view
  • You can:
    • Add new users
    • Remove users
    • Assign roles (Admin, Edit access)

Manage Team View

Admins can assign fine-grained control over who can edit monitors and manage the workspace.


Best Practices for Users & Workspaces

Task Recommendation
Naming a workspace Use team or department names for clarity
Assigning roles Grant Admin access carefully
Limiting access Add users only to relevant workspaces
Exporting Watchlists Use regularly for audits and backups
Organizing by function Create separate workspaces for separate projects
