The dashboard is chock full of features and tools to help you make the most of your social media management. Plus, we’re always adding more.To help get you acquainted with the various functionalities, or just give you a refresher, we have a new #HootTip all about a handy HootSuite feature.
Adding a Team Member
Expanding your business can be exciting and hectic at the same time. Every self-starter knows how difficult it can be to manage all your tasks and prioritize your needs. To streamline your social media campaigns, you need help dividing tasks and focusing on what you do best. We all know, two Owls are better than one.
In this #HootTip we’ll show you how easy it is to add a team member to any of your social profiles, and collaborate with them using HootSuite.
Here’s How:
- Access Settings from the Launch Bar and click on My Organization.
- Click on + Add New Member, and the Invite User Menu will appear.
- Select New User, enter in their email, and add a quick message.
- Check which social network you want them to access, and the level of permission you wish to give them.
- Click Send. This will send an email confirmation to the member you invited. Once they’ve accepted the email, you’ll have a new team member!
Inviting a Team Member
As your business grows, so will your team, and you’ll want to share more of your social network management with those you work with. Invite existing team members to help monitor, respond and broadcast across multiple social profiles.
Here’s How:
- Access Settings from the Launch Bar, and click on My Organization.
- Look under the +Add New Member button for your team members, and click on the team member you’d like to invite.
- Click on the Invite button next to the Social Network of the team member you want to share with.

Keep an eye out for a new #HootTip each week – they’re short, sweet and re-Tweetable so you can share your HootSuite expertise with your friends and followers. Some lucky RTers may just find themselves with a #HootKit… It’s our way of saying “thanks for spreading the word.”
I really appreciate how easy it is to add team members. I have team members who have never used HootSuite before, but they pick up how to use it very quickly. The “add team members” feature makes using HootSuite for business even more convenient. HootSuite is very intuitive, and I really appreciate the analytics. I don’t feel any other management tool is as useful.
Everytime I add a team member they dont show up in my organization list!

There is no ‘My Organization’ selection in my settings list….does one need to be ‘Pro’ to get that selection?
Hi,
Yes, team members are a pro- and enterprise-only feature.
REALLY NİCE I LOVE İT
I think this is out of date now as the interface has changed from the one shown here. Can you update this page to reflect the new interface?
We are pro members but I do not see “My Organization” in the settings list. I need to add team members-how do I achieve this?
Hi Brenda,
Access your organizations by clicking your profile picture at the top left of the dashboard. You’ll be able to manage your organizations and teams from there.
Can you assign team members tasks in Hootsuite pro? And create notes for them? Also can you get sent stats to your email account?
