Member management
Cohabit provides you with a flexible suite of tools to help manage your home members so that whether you are a couple living in an apartment and adding the occasional guest, or a busy co-living home where new members are joining and leaving every month, it's quick and easy to keep things up-to-date.
Members
Adding members
To get started click on the "New Member" button on your homes page. Follow the instructions and send your invitation. You can then view your open invitations at the bottom of your home's page.
Once your invitation is sent, your invitee can join in several convenient ways:
- If they already have/registered for a Cohabit account with the same email that you sent the invite to, the invite will appear on their home page.
- They can follow the link in their email to register for a Cohabit account and join your home.
- You can manually send them the link to their invite, as provided after you send the invite.
Archiving members
Archiving a member revokes their access to your home, but their records are retained so you can continue to see task completions. To archive a member from your home, go to the homes page and click on the member's name. This will take you to the member's page. Click on the "Edit" button, and then the "Archive" tab.
This process also makes it easy to restore users without having to perform the same invite process. To view your archived members, go to your homes page and select "Filter types" in the "Members" section (archived users are hidden by default). Now go to edit, and then the "Restore" tab.
Managers
Adding additional managers
To promote another member of your home to manager you must already be a manager. Go to the homes page and click on the member's name. This will take you to the member's page. Click on the "Edit" button, and then the "Promote" tab.
Demoting yourself
All homes must have at least one manager. If you are the only manager of your home, you will not be able to demote yourself until you promote a different member. It will be obvious if you are the only manager, as you will not see the "Demote" tab on your member editing options.
