Members and Access

Members admin is new terminology to Hook, previously this page was called User admin.
​

A user of Hook is called a member. Members in Hook have different roles which control their access level. Ensuring members have the correct level of access is crucial so that they can see their accounts, and their team's accounts as managers. Set up Hook so that CSMs are focused on their book of business, and for CSM managers to have an overview of their team’s performance.

Learn how to set up members with the correct permissions, add new members, deactivate members and set team managers in Member admin settings.

This article refers to users of the Hook platform, also called members, rather than users of your organisation's platform.

Can view access permissions settings in Hook

My accounts

An individual will only see the accounts they are assigned and associated with.

Team accounts

An individual will see all accounts that they and their team are assigned to. Any member with a Manager role can view accounts owned by their team. Managers for members can be set in Member admin settings - follow the instructions here.

All accounts

An individual will see all accounts regardless of whether they are assigned or associated with the account.

When SCIM user permissioning is enabled, the ability to edit members in Member admin settings will be disabled. This needs to be managed centrally by your organisation, instead of in Hook settings.

On the Overview page, Hook members can select an option from the View dropdown to see All customers, Team customers or My customers. News Feed and Alerts can be filtered in a similar way.
