How to Add New Users to your Quickbase Application

August 24, 2024

If you want someone to interact with an application you created in Quickbase, you need to add them as a user. Otherwise, no one can use the app.

  • Quickbase Users can:
    • Manage or build apps
    • Add, edit, and delete records
    • Interact with multiple functionalities to test
    • Access applications in any account they have access to

The Quickbase administrator [of your application] will control whether a user can create an application in each account and what type of permissions a user will have based on their role.

There are two ways you can add users to your application.

Adding Users via the Users Page in the Admin Console

  1. First, you need to get to the Admin Console. You can do this in three ways:
    1. By clicking on the arrow next to your name on the top right, select “Manage billing account” from the dropdown.

Tips for Adding Users to Quickbase Applications

It is important to know what role the new user will play before you add them to your application. This will help determine what type of permissions and access you should give them.

It is also useful to regularly check the users at the Admin Console level to make sure that you remove users who no longer need to be in an app.
