Adding users to your organization
Adding a new user to Parabola is entirely self-serve — no need to go through the Parabola team. Any admin can do it directly from the Team page.Navigate to the Team page and click + Add teammate.
The three user types
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Manage subscription and billing, add and remove team members, monitor usage analytics, and access all admin capabilities |
| Editor | Create and edit flows — no billing or user management access |
| Viewer | Read-only access to flows they’ve been explicitly given access to |
Admin permission scopes
On Advanced and Enterprise plans, admin access is broken into four distinct scopes. On all other plans, admins have User and Billing permissions only.| Scope | What it includes |
|---|---|
| User permissions | Add and remove team members; change permission levels |
| Billing permissions | Change subscription plan; update payment method |
| Content permissions | Access, edit, and move all flows in the organization — including flows not in shared team folders; delete team folders |
| Org Admin | All of the above, plus the ability to manage other admins |
If you need to remove your own Org Admin status, reach out to Parabola support.
Managing billing
If you have billing permissions, you can update your payment method from the Billing page. For plan changes or questions about your subscription, contact your Parabola account manager or email help@parabola.io.SSO and centralized login
If your organization uses a centralized identity provider (like Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin, or Azure AD), you can connect it to Parabola through Single Sign-On (SSO). Parabola uses WorkOS to support SSO. Setup requires a brief coordination call with the Parabola team to exchange configuration details with your IT team — the process typically takes about 15 minutes. Once SSO is configured:- Users sign into Parabola using the “Sign in with SSO” option
- All ongoing user management (inviting users, removing users, updating permission levels) continues to happen from the Team page in Parabola
- Changes made in your identity provider directory are not automatically synced to Parabola — you’ll need to reflect those changes manually
What admins can see that others can’t
Beyond user and billing management, admins have a few capabilities editors and viewers don’t:- Usage analytics — Admins can access credit consumption data broken down by user and by flow (covered in Lesson 4)
- Full flow access — Content admins have edit access to all flows in the organization, even ones they haven’t been directly shared on
What’s next
Now that you understand the different user roles and how admin access works, the next lesson covers credits — what they are, how they’re calculated, and how your team consumes them.Building challenge
Navigate to your Team page and review the current roles assigned to your team members.
- Is everyone assigned the right role?
- Are there any users who should be upgraded to Admin — or downgraded to Viewer?
- Are there any admins with broader scope than they need?
