Ideas portal users are free and unlimited in every Aha! billing plan, so you can invite or import as many users as you want. This guarantees that you can hear from anyone you would like feedback from. It also means that you will likely want to manage your portal users. 

Each ideas portal you create has its own settings to help you manage users for that portal. You can invite, edit, and disable users, as well as follow links to ideas they have created, commented on, or voted on. 

To manage users for an ideas portal, open your ideas portal settings by navigating to either Settings ⚙️ > Account > Ideas portals or Ideas > Overview. 

• From your account settings, click the name of the ideas portal whose settings you wish to edit.
• From Ideas > Overview, click the Pencil icon by the name of the ideas portal whose settings you wish to edit. 

You will need to be an administrator with customization permissions to manage ideas portal users.

• Invite a single ideas portal user
• Import multiple ideas portal users by CSV
• Resend an invitation to an ideas portal user
• Edit an ideas portal user's profile

1. From your portal settings' Users tab, click the Add portal user button and then enter the user's name and email address.
2. (Optional) Select the Employee checkbox to identify a user as an employee to provide more flexibility for idea visibility.
3. Click Create to invite the user.

You can import the following ideas information:

Disable or delete an ideas portal user

Sometimes it is necessary to disable or delete users because they have changed employment or you wish to prevent them from adding or viewing ideas.

2. Click Disable or Delete. 

Note:

• Disabled portal users can be reactivated at a later time.

Unsubscribe or resubscribe ideas portal users from notifications

If a single user doesn't want to receive notifications, you can opt out of notifications for them by following these steps. They can also unsubscribe to any emails they receive. 

1. From your portal settings' Users tab, hover over the user's name, then click the More options button.

View a portal user's content and activity

User management is about more than just the administrative aspects. The Users tab also allows you to engage with any ideas your users have created — and any actions they've taken on your ideas portal. 

1. From your portal settings' Users tab, there are three columns beside each user: Ideas, Comments, and Votes. If your user has created an idea, left a comment, or voted for an idea, you will see clickable numbers in these columns. 
2. Click any number. Aha! will generate a list report based on that user's content or actions. From there, dive into the data. 
3. Enjoy!
