Next Matter Administrators have access to advanced settings that affect the entire workspace.
Contents
Colleagues and invites
Invite a new user
As an administrator, you have the privilege to invite more colleagues to the companies Next Matter workspace.
Click on your company logo on the top left of the page and select Colleagues or head directly to https://app.nextmatter.com/app/organization/colleagues
From there, you can click on "+Invite a Colleague" on the top right hand side of the screen and in the following modal invite the new user with first name, last name and email address.
Roles
Each user can have the role of a regular "Colleague" or "Organization Admin".
Rights of Colleagues
Change their individual profile settings
Create new processes
Duplicate existing processes that they can see
Update processes of which they are the process lead
Create new teams and remove their own teams
Add team members to teams they are leading
Create public and private folders and remove them again
Move their own processes between folders
See processes that they are allowed to see according to folder and process setting
Rights of Organization Admins
Administrators have full access to a Next Matter workspace without any restriction, including visibility on all folders, processes, instances, teams and integrations
They can take over any step themselves
As an admin you can set roles for any user including yourself. Be careful, if you "demote" yourself to colleague, you cannot promote yourself back to admin level again.
Remove a user
Any user can be removed from the organization from the same tab, by clicking on the three dots on the right hand side --> Remove user from Organization.
If there are still open tasks for that user then you need to delegate all open tasks to another colleague or conclude up those process instances first. A modal will point you to any active instances so that you can take action accordingly.
Reset the password
Users can reset the password themselves, as is outlined in this article.
Teams
Teams are a way to assign a process step to a group of people. Any step in a Next Matter process can be assigned to a team with the Next Matter Editor. Each team member is eligible to pick up unassigned work for that team.
Create a Team
Teams can be created in two places by any user
The "+" icon next to TEAM in the navigation pane in the main view
The organization settings
Manage a team
Once created, these actions are available for managing a team
Add or remove team members
Assign or remove "team lead" status. Team leads can add or remove users from teams even if they are not an organization admin.
Change team name (effective immediately)
Remove team. Only works if there are not processes associated with that team
Integrations
Next Matter can integrate with any system through integration steps for example to retrieve data and use it further in a process or to update data in a third party system.
This is done through HTTP requests, which are labeled integration steps inside the Next Matter editor.
For some applications (e.g. Google Sheets, Xero, Google Drive), Next Matter can securely handle the authorization of integration calls that are made with Next Matter.
Connect an integration
Navigate to the integrations tab in the profile settings https://app.nextmatter.com/app/organization/integrations and click on "Connect" for an integration of your choice. This will take you through the authorization flow of the integration.
The user account that is used to authorize Next Matter needs to have rights to authorize third party applications. Get in touch with your company system administrator if you need to approve Next Matter
For some you might see a security warning, which you can circumvent by clicking on "Connect anyway"
When successful, the connected system is now available as a "Pre-Configured" Integration inside any "Integration Step" inside Next Matter.
The authorization rights for the entire Next Matter workspace are tied to the user that is used to make the integration connection.
Example: If you authorize Google Sheets, then Next Matter will ask you to select a user for the Google Sheets connection. As a consequence, Next Matter can interact only with Sheets that this user has access to.
Tip: Some companies create an email address and user for Next Matter system integrations, e.g., nextmatter@company.com
That way it is easier to manage system access rights accross all Next Matter processes.
Disconnect an integration
An integration can be disconnected by any admin. Processes that use integration steps with that pre-configured integration will no longer work until re-connected by an admin.
Other workspace settings
