User Management

Invite your team, assign roles, control access.
Two roles that cover 95% of enterprise needs without the complexity.

Pinchy user management — team members with roles

Two Roles. On Purpose.

Some platforms have five roles, eight permission levels, and a matrix nobody understands. Pinchy has two roles because two roles are enough.

Admin

Configures the platform. Creates agents, manages providers, invites users, views audit trails, sets up enterprise features.

  • Create and configure agents
  • Manage AI providers and models
  • Invite and manage users
  • View full audit trail
  • Configure groups and access
  • Enter enterprise license key

Member

Uses the platform. Chats with agents, manages personal context, uses personal Smithers agent.

  • Chat with accessible agents
  • Manage personal context
  • Use personal Smithers agent
  • Change own password

The first user created during setup is automatically an admin. Pinchy prevents demoting the last admin to ensure there's always at least one.

Invite Flow

No SSO configuration, no LDAP setup, no external dependencies. Inviting a team member takes 30 seconds.

1

Admin sends invite

Enter the person's email and name, choose their role (Admin or Member). Pinchy generates a unique invite link.

2

User claims invite

The invited person opens the link, sets their password, and their account is created with the assigned role.

3

Ready to chat

The new user can immediately log in and talk to any agent they have access to. Their personal Smithers agent is already waiting.

Full User Lifecycle

🔄 Role Changes

Promote a member to admin or demote an admin to member. Changes take effect immediately. Every role change is recorded in the audit trail.

🔒 Deactivation

Deactivate a user instead of deleting them. Their account is locked, they can't log in, but their audit history is preserved for compliance.

🔑 Password Reset

Admins can trigger a password reset for any user. The user sets a new password on their next login. No email service required.

♻️ Reactivation

Changed your mind? Reactivate a deactivated user. Their access is restored with the same role and permissions they had before.

📋 Pending Invites

Track which invites have been sent, which have been claimed, and which are still waiting. Revoke unclaimed invites if needed.

👤 Personal Context

Each user can set their own context — name, role, preferences. This context is available to agents in conversations, making responses more relevant.
