Once added, the user receives a welcome email prompting them to create their login.

Permission levels

Mention Me has a hierarchy of roles granting access to different parts of the platform.
Permission levels hierarchy in Mention Me
Users can only amend the permissions of people with a permission level equal to or below their own. For example, Customer Support Supervisors can add or amend other Customer Support staff, but they cannot add Marketing or Administrator users. If you need your permissions upgraded, speak to the owner of the Mention Me account in your company. The Mention Me team cannot provide access without authorisation from someone in your account with sufficient permissions.

How to unlock users

All user accounts are locked automatically after 90 days of inactivity.

Why accounts get locked

Accounts are locked to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data. Reasons include:
  • A user was manually locked by editing their profile and ticking Account is locked.
  • A user was given the No Login role.
  • Inactivity-based deactivation:
    • The user has logged in before but not within the last 6 months.
    • The user has never logged in and it has been over 1 month since account creation.
    • The user is attached to a churned Merchant (processed at 4:47am on Saturdays).
Both password-based and SSO users can be locked. Only password-based users need a password reset email to regain access.
