Step-by-Step Instructions

Log in to the Redis Cloud Console
Go to https://app.redislabs.com/ and sign in. -
Navigate to the Team Tab
In the left-hand navigation menu, select your account or organization, then click Team or Team Management.
-
Click “Add Member” or “Invite User”
The label may vary depending on the UI version, but both refer to the action of adding a new user. -
Enter User Details
Fill in:- First Name / Last Name

The user must click the activation link and complete the signup process.
Once activated, the user appears in the Team list with their assigned role.

Editing or Removing a Team Member
-
Edit User Details
- Click a user from the list, then click Edit.
- You can modify name, role, and notification settings, but not their email address.
- Click Save User to apply changes.
-
Remove a User
- Select the user and click Delete.
- Confirm removal in the dialog.
Note: Removing a user is a permanent action and cannot be undone.
Troubleshooting
-
User Did Not Receive Invitation Email
- Check the email was entered correctly.
- Ask them to check spam/junk folders.
- Resend the invitation from the Team tab.
-
User Cannot Accept the Invitation
- The invitation link may have expired—resend it.
- The user might already belong to another Redis Cloud organization using that email.
-
Access or Permissions Not Working as Expected
- Double-check the assigned role. You can edit the role if needed from the Team tab.
-
Multi-Factor Authentication Shows as Disabled
- MFA must be enabled by the user from their own profile page. The admin view will reflect this once set up.
-
Console Not Loading Correctly
- Try clearing your browser cache or switching to a different browser.
- If issues persist, contact Redis Support: Submit a Request
