Adding Team Members to Lucky Orange
Adding team members to Lucky Orange is a straightforward process that allows you to collaborate with colleagues, share analytics insights, and distribute responsibilities across your organization. This guide covers everything you need to know about inviting and onboarding new users.
Prerequisites
Before adding team members, ensure you have:
- Owner or Admin role privileges in your Lucky Orange account
- The email addresses of team members you want to invite
- A clear understanding of what role each team member should have
- Available team member seats in your current plan (check your subscription details)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Access Team Management Settings
- Log in to your Lucky Orange account at app.luckyorange.com
- Click on the gear icon or "Settings" in the top-right corner of the dashboard
- In the settings sidebar, locate and click on "Team Management" or "Team"
- You'll see the team management dashboard showing all current members
The team management page displays:
- Current team members with their roles and email addresses

Step 2: Initiate the Invitation Process
- Click the "Add Team Member" or "Invite Member" button (usually located in the top-right corner)
- A modal window or form will appear with invitation fields
- The interface will show input fields for email and role selection
Step 3: Enter Team Member Information
In the invitation form, you'll need to provide:
Email Address
- Enter the work email address of the team member you want to invite
- Double-check for typos to ensure the invitation reaches the correct person
- Use professional email addresses (avoid personal emails like Gmail for business accounts)
- Some organizations may require company domain emails for security compliance
Role Selection Choose the appropriate role from the dropdown menu:
- Owner: Reserved for the account creator; cannot be assigned through invitation
- Admin: Select for team leads or managers who need full access and configuration rights
- User: Select for team members who only need to view analytics and recordings
Step 4: Configure Website Access (If Applicable)
If your account manages multiple websites:
- Select which website(s) the new team member should access
- You can grant access to all websites or specific ones
- Different websites can have different role assignments for the same user
- Use selective access for agency clients or contractors working on specific projects
Step 5: Send the Invitation
- Review all entered information for accuracy
- Click "Send Invitation" or "Invite" button
- Lucky Orange will send an automated invitation email to the specified address
- You'll see a confirmation message that the invitation was sent successfully
- The pending invitation will appear in your team management dashboard
Step 6: Team Member Accepts Invitation
What happens next:
- The invited team member receives an email from Lucky Orange with the subject line similar to "You've been invited to join [Account Name] on Lucky Orange"
- The email contains an "Accept Invitation" button or link
- When clicked, the team member is directed to Lucky Orange
- If they don't have a Lucky Orange account, they'll create a password
- If they already have an account, they'll simply add this new access to their existing login
Common Use Cases
Adding Marketing Team Members
When adding marketers or analysts:
- Grant Admin access to senior marketing managers who need to configure goals and funnels
- Provide User access to junior marketers and analysts for data review
- Add multiple team members simultaneously during onboarding periods
- Consider User role for stakeholders who need reporting access only
Example workflow:
- CMO: Admin role (full configuration access)
- Marketing Manager: Admin role (manage campaigns and funnels)
- Marketing Analysts: User role (view data and recordings)
- Executives: User role (high-level reporting access)
Adding Agency Team Members
For agencies managing client accounts:
- Add agency account managers as Admins for full client management
- Invite designers and developers as Users to review session recordings
- Grant junior team members User access for learning and observation
- Keep agency owners as Admins across all client accounts
Best practices:
- Use consistent role assignments across client accounts
- Document which agency members have access to which clients
- Remove access when team members change client assignments
Adding Temporary Contractors
When working with freelancers or consultants:
- Add contractors with User role for limited, read-only access
- Elevate to Admin only for senior consultants managing specific projects
- Set calendar reminders to remove access when contracts end
- Consider creating a shared documentation of contractor access for team reference
Adding Customer Support Team
For support teams reviewing customer sessions:
- Grant User role to customer support representatives
- Train support staff on privacy considerations when viewing recordings
- Consider creating a separate "Support" Lucky Orange account if needed
- Enable session filtering to protect sensitive customer information
Best Practices for Adding Users
Security Considerations
- Verify Email Addresses: Always confirm email addresses before sending invitations to prevent unauthorized access

Troubleshooting
Invitation Email Not Received
If the team member doesn't receive the invitation:
