Overview

The Viewer Role lets you invite external partners, such as brand contacts, stakeholders, or agency clients, into your Repsly account as read-only users. Viewers can access Form Reports and Photo Gallery for the specific forms you assign to them.

 

Before You Begin

  • You must have the Viewer admin permission enabled on your Repsly account to add Viewer users.
  • Viewer users count toward your account's Viewer limit based on your plan tier. Contact your CSM if you need to expand your limit.

 

Step 1: Add a New Viewer User

  1. In Repsly Web, navigate to User Management. Click Add User.

  2. Viewers only see data from the forms you select here.
  3. If no forms are selected, the Viewer will see a 'no access' message when they log in.
  4. Optionally enable: Export permission and/or Insights Dashboard access.
  5. Save all the changes you've made. The Viewer will receive an email invitation to set up their login and access Repsly.

Troubleshooting

Viewer sees 'no access' message:

Check that at least one form has been assigned in their profile under Form Access.

The viewer didn't receive the invitation email:

Ask them to check spam/junk folders. You can resend from their user profile.

Can't add a Viewer user:

Confirm you have the Viewer admin permission. Contact your Repsly administrator if needed.
