Teams and projects

Adding new users

The number of projects and tasks in Worksection is unlimited. You can create as many projects as you need and add an unlimited number of tasks to them.


The number of users depends on the number of purchased seats. Pricing plans differ in both the available functionality and the cost per user.


Inviting people to the account

There are several ways to add new members to the account.


You can do it using the “+” button in the left sidebar:



You can also add new members from the “People” widget on the account home page:



We recommend first adding your most proactive team members to the account. They can learn the system and then help onboard the rest of the team.

To add new users:

1 Specify their role in the system (you can assign the basic “User” role).
2 Add the email address of one user or several users at once.
3 Select one or more projects the users will be invited to.


After sending the invitation, you can change user role at any time (Administrator, User, Guest, or Reader).


Tip If your team has up to 10 people, add them to your main team in Worksection. If your team is larger, we recommend creating separate teams for each department, such as “Marketing” and “Production.” This way, you can assign a manager as a “team administrator” and give them extended permissions, but only within their own team.
