How to Manage Access for Projects/ Programs
Essential guide to controlling user permissions in construction project management
User management in Mastt lets you control who has access to your construction projects and programs, and what level of permissions they have. Use this guide to add team members, remove users, and modify access rights to maintain proper security across your construction projects.
Before you start:
- Only admins can add and remove users from projects and programs, or change user permissions
- You can add and invite multiple users at once
- New users receive an email invitation to create their Mastt account and gain immediate project access
Steps
Add users to a project
- Navigate to your project dashboard by clicking the project tile
- Click the Settings icon (cog) in the bottom left navigation menu
- Select User Management from the project settings pop-up page
- Use the drop-down menu to select users from your workspace
- Click Invite Users then click Save
Add new users to your workspace
- Click your name in the upper right corner of your screen
- Select Admin from the dropdown menu
- Click User Management in the side navigation bar
- Click Invite User in the upper left
- Enter the email address of the user you want to invite
- Choose their role:
- Admin: Can manage projects, programmes, and users, plus edit workspaces
- Standard: Member of the workspace with project access
- Select their security method:
- Standard password: User logs in with email and password
- Microsoft Login: User logs in with Microsoft SSO
- Click Save
Result: The new user appears in your user list. If they already have a Mastt account, they'll gain immediate access. If not, they'll receive an email invitation to create an account.
Remove users from a project

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: What if a new user didn't receive the invitation email?
Check the email address is correct and ask them to check spam/junk folders. Resend the invitation if needed through the User Management section.
Q: Why can't a user access project data after being added?
Verify the user's permission level isn't set to read-only if they need editing access. Check their role under User Management and upgrade permissions if necessary.
Q: How do I add multiple users at once?
Use the workspace-level User Management to invite multiple users, then add them to specific projects through each project's User Management settings.
